I have a CXF JAX-RS app being built with Maven. I'm working on converting it to Gradle, but using the Ant XJC task.
The current build uses a couple of extensions, one of which is a copy of the "element wrapper" plugin, and the other is the "jaxb-fluent-api".
I tried putting the jars for those two plugins into the xjc classpath, but when I run the XJC task, I get the following:
java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: com.sun.tools.xjc.Plugin: Provider dk.conspicio.jaxb.plugins.XmlElementWrapperPlugin not a subtype
The XmlElementWrapperPlugin class extends "com.sun.tools.xjc.Plugin".
Any idea what's going on here?
If it matters, my Maven configuration for the xjc plugin looks something like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-xjc-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>

Update:
I've determined that this is not an issue with the "Element Wrapper" extension. If I remove that jar from the classpath and rebuild, it reports the same error for the "Fluent API" plugin.
I've also determined this isn't strictly a Gradle issue. I get the same symptom with an Ant "build.xml", and even a plain shell script directly calling the "XJCFacade" Java class. In fact, I can simplify this script a bit by not even specifying any schema files, which makes it clear this error happens even before trying to process any schemas.
The following is my current script:
#! /bin/bash
java -classpath "lib/commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar;lib/commons-lang-2.2.jar;lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar;lib/istack-commons-runtime-2.16.jar;lib/jaxb2-basics-runtime-0.6.5.jar;lib/jaxb2-basics-tools-0.6.5.jar;lib/jaxb-api-2.2.7.jar;lib/jaxb-core-2.2.7.jar;lib/jaxb-fluent-api-2.1.8.jar;lib/jaxb-xew-plugin-1.4.jar;lib/jaxb-xjc-2.2.7.jar" com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCFacade -extension
You could construct the same test by downloading all of those artifacts to your Gradle or Maven cache and copying them into a simple folder structure.
Also note that I'm running this test mainly on Windows 7, but I zipped up this project and moved it to my CentOS VM and it gives me the exact same error.
I have tried
java -cp jaxb-api-2.2.7.jar;jaxb-core-2.2.7.jar;jaxb-xjc-2.2.7.jar;commons-logging-1.1.1.jar;commons-lang-2.2.jar;jaxb2-basics-tools-0.6.5.jar;jaxb-xew-plugin-1.3.jar com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCFacade -verbose -extension -d src xsd
and indeed that fails with Exception in thread "main" java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: com.sun.tools.xjc.Plugin: Provider com.sun.tools.xjc.addon.xew.XmlElementWrapperPlugin not a subtype
, so the problem is clearly reproducible. I have debugged java.util.ServiceLoader
and it turned out that plugins should be passed as argument to XJC (not to classpath of Java). Actually, all maven plugins (like jaxb2-maven-plugin
or maven-jaxb2-plugin
…) know about this feature and form XJC argments correctly. So the correct command line is:
java -cp jaxb-api-2.2.7.jar;jaxb-core-2.2.7.jar;jaxb-xjc-2.2.7.jar;commons-lang-2.2.jar;commons-logging-1.1.1.jar com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCFacade -classpath jaxb-xew-plugin-1.3.jar;jaxb2-basics-tools-0.6.5.jar -verbose -extension -Xxew -d src xsd
Note that -classpath
is argument for XJC. commons-xxx
libs can go to system classpath as the packages they export are not screened, but jaxb2-basics-tools
should be in XJC classpath. If you are interested in details:
This happens because XJC does classpath loader screening to be able to load higher versions of JAXB API in JRE that has lower build-in version of API. See XJCFacade.java line 69. That means that com.sun.tools.xjc.Plugin
is loaded once by custom XJCFacade
classloader while the same class is loaded by another (actually, parent) classloader again when Class.forName("com.sun.tools.xjc.addon.xew.XmlElementWrapperPlugin")
is called, but now classes are not equal.
Actually you can workaround like this (solution found after source code inspection):
java -Dcom.sun.tools.xjc.XJCFacade.nohack=true -cp jaxb-core-2.2.7.jar;jaxb-xjc-2.2.7.jar;commons-lang-2.2.jar;commons-logging-1.1.1.jar;jaxb2-basics-tools-0.6.5.jar;jaxb-xew-plugin-1.3.jar com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCFacade -verbose -extension -Xxew -d src xsd
Note that I have removed jaxb-api-2.2.7.jar
from Java classpath but you'd better put JAXB API into lib/endorsed
as it may not work on different Java versions: works fine for Java 7, because it's JAXB API is close to 2.2.7, but may not work on Java 6 + JAXB API 2.2.11.
