How to resolve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

The JAXB APIs are considered to be Java EE APIs and therefore are no longer contained on the default classpath in Java SE 9. In Java 11, they are completely removed from the JDK.

Java 9 introduces the concepts of modules, and by default, the java.se aggregate module is available on the classpath (or rather, module-path). As the name implies, the java.se aggregate module does not include the Java EE APIs that have been traditionally bundled with Java 6/7/8.

Fortunately, these Java EE APIs that were provided in JDK 6/7/8 are still in the JDK, but they just aren't on the classpath by default. The extra Java EE APIs are provided in the following modules:

java.activation
java.corba
java.transaction
java.xml.bind  << This one contains the JAXB APIs
java.xml.ws
java.xml.ws.annotation

Quick and dirty solution: (JDK 9/10 only)

To make the JAXB APIs available at runtime, specify the following command-line option:

--add-modules java.xml.bind

But I still need this to work with Java 8!!!

If you try specifying --add-modules with an older JDK, it will blow up because it's an unrecognized option. I suggest one of two options:

1. You can set any Java 9+ only options using the JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable. This environment variable is automatically read by the java launcher for Java 9+.
2. You can add the -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions to make the JVM silently ignore unrecognized options, instead of blowing up. But beware! Any other command-line arguments you use will no longer be validated for you by the JVM. This option works with Oracle/OpenJDK as well as IBM JDK (as of JDK 8sr4).

---

Alternate quick solution: (JDK 9/10 only)

Note that you can make all of the above Java EE modules available at run time by specifying the --add-modules java.se.ee option. The java.se.ee module is an aggregate module that includes java.se.ee as well as the above Java EE API modules. Note, this doesn't work on Java 11 because java.se.ee was removed in Java 11.

---

Proper long-term solution: (JDK 9 and beyond)

The Java EE API modules listed above are all marked @Deprecated(forRemoval=true) because they are scheduled for removal in Java 11. So the --add-module approach will no longer work in Java 11 out-of-the-box.

What you will need to do in Java 11 and forward is include your own copy of the Java EE APIs on the classpath or module path. For example, you can add the JAX-B APIs as a Maven dependency like this:

<!-- API, java.xml.bind module -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Runtime, com.sun.xml.bind module -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
</dependency>

See the JAXB Reference Implementation page for more details on JAXB.

For full details on Java modularity, see JEP 261: Module System

For Gradle or Android Studio developer: (JDK 9 and beyond)

Add the following dependencies to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    // JAX-B dependencies for JDK 9+
    implementation "jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.2"
    implementation "org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.2"
}

In my case (spring boot fat jar) I just add the following to pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

Clean solution for all JDKs >= 9

You need to add two dependencies to your build

• the jaxb-api
• a jaxb implementation

As an implementation I chose to use the reference implementation by glassfish to get rid of old com.sun classes / libraries. So as a result I added in my maven build

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

Note that from version 2.3.1 you don't need to add the javax.activation any longer. (see https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxb-ri/issues/1222)

None of these solutions worked fine for me in the recent JDK 9.0.1.

I found that this list of dependencies is enough for a proper functioning, so you don't need to explicitly specify --add-module (though it is specified within these dependencies's pom's). The only you need is to specify this list of dependencies:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
        <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

This worked for me:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>

---

Update

As @Jasper suggested, in order to avoid depending on the entire EclipseLink library, you can also just depend on EclipseLink MOXy:

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.moxy</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.3</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

compile group: 'org.eclipse.persistence', name: 'org.eclipse.persistence.moxy', version: '2.7.3'

---

As dependencies for my Java 8 app, which produces a *.jar which can be run by both JRE 8 or JRE 9 with no additional arguments.

In addition, this needs to be executed somewhere before JAXB API will be used:

System.setProperty("javax.xml.bind.JAXBContextFactory", "org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory");

Works great so far, as a workaround. Doesn't look like a perfect solution though...

it´s because java version if you are using jdk 9 or a later version just add this to your pom

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

To solve this, I have imported some JAR files in my project:

• javax.activation-1.2.0.jar

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/sun/activation/javax.activation/1.2.0/javax.activation-1.2.0.jar

• jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.3.0/jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar

• jaxb-core-2.3.0.jar

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-core/2.3.0/jaxb-core-2.3.0.jar

• jaxb-impl-2.3.0.jar

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-impl/2.3.0/jaxb-impl-2.3.0.jar

1. Download above files and copy them into libs folder in the project
2. Add the imported JAR files in Java Build Path

At the time of compilation as well as run time, add the switch --add-modules java.xml.bind

javac --add-modules java.xml.bind <java file name>

java --add-modules java.xml.bind <class file>

excerpts:

    4.1. Changes between 2.3.0.1 and 2.4.0

         JAXB RI is now JPMS modularized:

            All modules have native module descriptor.

            Removed jaxb-core module, which caused split package issue on JPMS.

            RI binary bundle now has single jar per dependency instead of shaded fat jars.

            Removed runtime class weaving optimization.

    4.2. Changes between 2.3.0 and 2.3.0.1

          Removed legacy technology dependencies:

            com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb1-impl

            net.java.dev.msv:msv-core

            net.java.dev.msv:xsdlib

Maven coordinates for JAXB artifacts

jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api: API classes for JAXB. Required to compile against JAXB.

org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime: Implementation of JAXB, runtime used for serialization and deserialization java objects to/from xml.

JAXB fat-jar bundles:

com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl: JAXB runtime fat jar.

In contrast to org.glassfish.jaxb artifacts, these jars have all dependency classes included inside. These artifacts does not contain JPMS module descriptors. In Maven projects org.glassfish.jaxb artifacts are supposed to be used instead.

org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:jar:2.3.2 pulls in:

Original Answer

Following Which artifacts should I use for JAXB RI in my Maven project? in Maven, you can use a profile like:

<profile>
    <id>java-9</id>
    <activation>
        <jdk>9</jdk>
    </activation>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
            <version>2.3.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
            <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</profile> 

Dependency tree shows:

[INFO] +- org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:jar:2.3.0:compile
[INFO] |  +- org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-core:jar:2.3.0:compile
[INFO] |  |  +- javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:jar:2.3.0:compile
[INFO] |  |  +- org.glassfish.jaxb:txw2:jar:2.3.0:compile
[INFO] |  |  \- com.sun.istack:istack-commons-runtime:jar:3.0.5:compile

[INFO] |  \- com.sun.xml.fastinfoset:FastInfoset:jar:1.2.13:compile
[INFO] \- javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1.1:compile

To use this in Eclipse, say Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a) or later, Ctrl-Alt-P, or right-click on the project, Maven, then select the profile.

I also stumpled accross the ClassNotFoundException:javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter using Java 11 and

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
    <artifactId>jjwt</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.1</version>
</dependency>

I tried all this stuff around adding javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api or spring boot jakarta.xml.bind-api .. I found a hint for fixes in jjwt version 0.10.0 .. but most importantly, the jjwt package is now split !

Thus, check this reference: https://github.com/jwtk/jjwt/issues/510

Simply, if you use

Java11 and jjwt 0.9.x and you face the ClassNotFoundException:javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter issue,

go for

jjwt version 0.11.x, but use the splitted packages: https://github.com/jwtk/jjwt#install

You maven wont find a higher version for jjwt dependency, since they split the packages.

Cheers.

I encountered this issue when working on a Java Project in Debian 10.

Each time I start the appliction it throws the error in the log file:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

Here's how I solved it:

The issue is often caused when JAXB library (Java Architecture for XML Binding) is missing in the classpath. JAXB is included in Java SE 10 or older, but it is removed from Java SE from Java 11 or newer moved to Java EE under Jakarta EE project.

So, I checked my Java version using:

java --version

And it gave me this output

openjdk 11.0.8 2020-07-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.8+10-post-Debian-1deb10u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.8+10-post-Debian-1deb10u1, mixed mode, sharing)

So I was encountering the JAXBException error because I was using Java 11, which does not have the JAXB library (Java Architecture for XML Binding) is missing in the classpath. JAXB is included in it.

To fix the issue I had to add the JAXB API library to the lib (/opt/tomcat/lib) directory of my tomcat installation:

sudo wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.4.0-b180830.0359/jaxb-api-2.4.0-b180830.0359.jar

Then I renamed it from jaxb-api-2.4.0-b180830.0359.jar to jaxb-api.jar:

sudo mv jaxb-api-2.4.0-b180830.0359.jar jaxb-api.jar

Note: Ensure that you change the permission allow tomcat access the file and also change the ownership to tomcat:

sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/tomcat/

And then I restarted the tomcat server:

sudo systemctl restart tomcat

Resources: [Solved] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

That's all.

This worked for me. Adding only jaxb-api wasn't enough.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
            <version>${jaxb-api.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
            <version>${jaxb-api.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
            <version>${jaxb-api.version}</version>
        </dependency>

Go to Your Build.gradle and add below dependencies for both Java 9 or Java 10.

sourceCompatibility = 10 // You can also decrease your souce compatibility to 1.8 

//java 9+ does not have Jax B Dependents

    compile group: 'javax.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-api', version: '2.3.0'
    compile group: 'com.sun.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-core', version: '2.3.0'
    compile group: 'com.sun.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-impl', version: '2.3.0'
    compile group: 'javax.activation', name: 'activation', version: '1.1.1'

You can use --add-modules=java.xml.bind JVM option to add xml bind module to JVM run-time environment.

Eg: java --add-modules=java.xml.bind XmlTestClass

You need to add JAX-B dependencies when using JDK 9+. For Android Studio user, you'll need to add this to your build.gradle's dependencies {} block:

// Add missing dependencies for JDK 9+
if (JavaVersion.current().ordinal() >= JavaVersion.VERSION_1_9.ordinal()) {
    // If you're using @AutoValue or any libs that requires javax.annotation (like Dagger)
    compileOnly 'com.github.pengrad:jdk9-deps:1.0'
    compileOnly 'javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.3.2'

    // If you're using Kotlin
    kapt "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-core:2.3.0.1"
    kapt "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1"
    kapt "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.3.2"

    // If you're using Java
    annotationProcessor "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-core:2.3.0.1"
    annotationProcessor "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1"

    testAnnotationProcessor "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-core:2.3.0.1"
    testAnnotationProcessor "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1"
}

The root cause of this issue is that Gradle Daemon using JDK11, either you set your JAVA_HOME to JDK11 or your running your Gradle Task in the shared daemon which running with JDK11.

For Android:

1. Check your Project Structure settings, you can change the JDK to JDK8 from there.

2. You can also set a JAVA_HOME and points to java8 home.

For Java Web Start Execution we can use Andy Guibert's suggestion like this:

<j2se version="1.6+" 
      java-vm-args="-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules=java.se.ee"/>

Note the extra "=" in the --add-modules. See this OpenJDK Ticket or the last note in "Understanding Runtime Access Warnings" of the Java Platform, Standard Edition Oracle JDK 9 Migration Guide.

add javax.xml.bind dependency in pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>

This solved my problems with dependencies running Apache Camel 2.24.1 on Java 12:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
        <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.1</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0.1</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0.1</version>
    </dependency>

Since JavaEE is now governed by https://jakarta.ee/, the new Maven coordinates as of 2.3.2 are:

https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/jaxb-ri/#maven-artifacts

The first released jaxb.version is 2.3.2.

<properties>
  <jaxb.version>2.3.2</jaxb.version>
</properties>

<dependency>
  <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
  <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
  <version>${jaxb.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>${jaxb.version}</version>
</dependency>

Adding the below dependency worked for me.

        <!-- API, java.xml.bind module -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.2</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- Runtime, com.sun.xml.bind module -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.2</version>
    </dependency>

I followed this URL and the below settings had really helped me. I use Java 10 with STS IDE in Macbook Pro. It works like a charm.

   <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.activation-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>

I encountered the same issue using Spring Boot 2.0.5.RELEASE on Java 11.

Adding javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.0 alone did not fix the problem. I also had to update Spring Boot to the latest Milestone 2.1.0.M2, so I assume this will be fixed in the next official release.

As the official documentation states:

When upgrading you may face the following:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

Hibernate typically requires JAXB thats no longer provided by default. You can add the java.xml.bind module to restore this functionality with Java9 or Java10 (even if the module is deprecated).

As of Java11, the module is not available so your only option is to add the JAXB RI (you can do that as of Java9 in place of adding the java.xml.bind module:

The solution was to:

• Go to the JAXB Project at github.io ("JAXB is licensed under a dual license - CDDL 1.1 and GPL 2.0 with Class-path Exception")

• Download jaxb-ri-2.3.0.zip

• Unzip wherever you put your java infrastructure files (in my case, /usr/local/java/jaxb-ri/). Other solution may exist (maybe via SDKMAN, I dunno)

• Make sure the jars in the lib subdirectory are on the CLASSPATH. I do it via a script started on bash startup, called /etc/profile.d/java.sh, where I added (among many other lines) the following loop:

Packed into a function...

function extend_qzminynshg {
   local BASE="/usr/local/java"

extend_qzminynshg; unset extend_qzminynshg

And it works!

You only need 1 dependency:

dependencies {
    implementation ("jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.2")

you can use this dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

i want to give a simple and easy solution about this Exception , just downgrade the android studio version upto 4.1.1 or less. Make sure you don't have android studio arctic fox (2020.3.1) version , because latest version don't support old project of android.

OK, I have been having the same kind of issue, but I was using Java 8, and kept getting this error, I tried most of the solutions. but it turns out that my maven was still pointing to java 9 even-though I set the global Java version to 8, as soon as I fixed that it all worked.

For anybody who might have this kind of problem, check out How to fix Maven to use default Java (archived)

Old answer "Problem resolved by switching to amazoncorretto" News answer: I used corretto latest , but is similar jdk 1.8. so anyway we need add dependencies manually
