James has been working for months untouched.=C2=A0 This morning I needed to= =20 reboot the server for other reasons.=C2=A0 When it came back, James would n= ot=20 start.=C2=A0 It was giving me errors saying camel xml file had syntax error= s=20 and couldn't parse, etc.=C2=A0 This really blindsided me.=C2=A0 I hadn't do= ne a=20 thing to change anything.=C2=A0=C2=A0 The root cause of the error was somet= hing=20 like some jaxb exception class couldn't be found.=C2=A0=C2=A0 I did some go= ogling=20 and found that jaxb is removed from java SE 9+ (and moved to EE).=C2=A0 I= =20 checked my java paths, and they still show java 8.=C2=A0 So that "couldn't = be=20 the problem".... Then I remembered a week or so ago, java started=20 yelling at me that it was out of date.=C2=A0 I never auto upgrade if things= =20 are working.=C2=A0 But when I thought I was dismissing the popup, it said= =20 something about old files removed.=C2=A0 Bottom line is java apparently=20 upgraded me to java 9 inside the java 8 folder. Maybe not fully... but=20 in any case, jaxb was no longer there.=C2=A0 And it didn't show up until I= =20 rebooted.
In the forum research someone said that the jaxb files are still there=20 in 9, but you have to call them out.=C2=A0 Add an additional argument:=20 "--add-modules java.xml.bind" on the java command makes them available. So... I don't really know what the java update did under the covers.=C2=A0= =20 But it broke james.=C2=A0 Finally, after adding the above arg to the java= =20 command line, things started working again.=C2=A0 So if you are using Java9= =20 or higher, or if java appears to have updated you against your wishes,=20 this java command line arg should fix james. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-user-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-user-h...@james.apache.org
