Error unmarshalling xml in java-8 “secure-processing org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException causing java.lang.IllegalStateException”

Question

The following code worked fine in Java 7

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;

String          


        

Answer 1

Another possible solution to this is to add system variables:

I used these in the maven tomcat plugin which worked for me:

com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.SAXParser
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

But you should also be able to set as follows:

java -Dorg.xml.sax.parser="com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.SAXParser" \
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory="com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl" \
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory="com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl"

or even use System.setProperty:

System.setProperty("org.xml.sax.driver", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.SAXParser");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
