JaxbRepresentation gives error “doesnt contain ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index”

Question

I am trying to create a sample test application which converts an object to JaxbRepresentation. But when I try to run this, it gives me an error.

Main.java file

Answer 1

In my case I was able to solve the problem by changing the instantiation of the JAXBContext. It can either be instantiated with the package name or the ObjectFactory class as a parameter.

When instantiating with the package name:

com.myexample.test.ObjectFactory objectFactory = new com.myexample.test.ObjectFactory();
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(objectFactoryMessageBody.getClass().getPackage().getName());

It gave the error:

"com.myexample.test" doesnt contain ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index

No errors when instantiating with the class name:

com.myexample.test.ObjectFactory objectFactory = new com.myexample.test.ObjectFactory();
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(objectFactoryMessageBody.getClass());
