Jersey returns 500 when trying to return an XML response

Question

I\'m trying to create my own RESTful WS application using Jersey 2.12 based from this article. I want to return an XML representation of a class depending on the id been pas

Answer 1

We need to understand this problem first Jersey returns 500 when trying to return an XML response. This issue is coming because of missing dependency in pom.xml and that is:

    org.glassfish.jaxb
    jaxb-runtime
    2.2.11
  

But this is not enough. This will resolve the 500 Error but one more error will come, while using endpoint.

javax.servlet.ServletException: org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/xml/bind/v2/model/annotation/AnnotationReader

To resolve this you need to add following dependencies too into pom.xml

    com.sun.xml.bind
    jaxb-core
    2.3.0.1


        

    com.sun.xml.bind
    jaxb-impl
    2.3.1

So this is the complete solution, to make your Jersey webApp work
