I have been trying to use JAXB with tomcat, but I have been have some problems. I began trying to use the following class loader:
this.getClass().getClassLoader() That didn't work. I don't actually understand much about those class loader things. So I browsed the Internet for a solution and I found out the following line: Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() Then I plugged it into my JAXB initialization (br/sids/brh/jaxb is in WEB-INF/class): JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance("br.sids.brh.jaxb", Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()); unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller(); After some tomcat permissions tweaking I finally get that line working. I was happy for a while, that is until I tried to actually get some information from the XML. I used the following, very simple, just to test it: BoOcorrenciaPolicial bo = (BoOcorrenciaPolicial) unmarshaller.unmarshal(new File(XML_DIR + id + ".xml")); String hist = bo.getHIST(); Things didn't go as smoothly as I'd hope. This is the error I got: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Class com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.reflect.Accessor$FieldReflection can not access a member of class br.sids.brh.jaxb.BoOcorrenciaPolicial with modifiers "protected" com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.reflect.Accessor$FieldReflection.set(Accessor.java:204) I noticed that "protected" modifiers seemed to be bothering tomcat. So I thought I'd edit br/sids/brh/jaxb/BoOcorrenciaPolicial.java and change all the occurences to "public". That seems to have done it. Even <%= hist %> worked as expected. I was pleased, but I didn't like the solution. That file is automatically generated, it seems rather bad to me to edit a automatically generated file like that. I'd have to notice any future user that he has to do that (or call some script I could make) and overall it doesn't seems really elegant to simple change protected to public, whoever made the program probably had a reason to keep those methods protected. Does anyone have a better solution? Maybe some further tomcat configuration, the user of a different loader, perhaps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
