I am trying to Upgrade from sqljdbc4.jar to sqljdbc4.2.jar as JDBC driver on WebSphere 8.5 running on Java 8 but when starting my application I am getting the following exception :

I tried adding jaxb-api-2.2.11.jar and jaxb-impl-2.2.11.jar and I still get the same error.
UPDATE: when running on sqljdbc4.jar i didn't have to add jaxb-api or jaxb-impl and my application was working fine, this issue only appeared when i tried to use sqljdbc4.2.jar.
Assuming this is the SQL Server JDBC driver, try using a newer version (e.g. current latest is 9.2.1), and see if that resolves the problem.
Alternatively, given your application server already provides JAXB, you could also try excluding the JAXB dependency from being pulled in again through the driver.
