JAXB doesn't unmarshall after updating java from 1.8.0_77 to 1.8.0_121

Question

Yesterday I updated java like posted in the title, now JAXB doesn\'t parse xml anymore. All objects are simply null, nothing seems to be set.

Given this POJO - List

Answer 1

Java8 newer version is more strict, I had same issue and found, we have to specify namespace for each field as follow to validate It worked for me

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "ListMatchingProductsResponse", propOrder = {
        "listMatchingProductsResult",
        "responseMetadata"
})
@XmlRootElement(name = "ListMatchingProductsResponse", namespace="http://example.com/api)
public class ListMatchingProductsResponse {
    @XmlElement(name = "ListMatchingProductsResult", namespace="http://example.com/api)
    private ListMatchingProductsResult listMatchingProductsResult;
    @XmlElement(name = "ResponseMetadata", namespace="http://example.com/api)
    private ResponseMetadata responseMetadata;
    @XmlAttribute(name = "xmlns", namespace="http://example.com/api)
    private String xmlns;
