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

It was a dependency problem.

Here is my way how I solved the problem:

1. Make a new maven project, with that simple pieces of code, I attached below, the programm crashed normally with an error, that the structure couldn't be parsed which is ok.

2. Copy your dependencies into the project pom.xml, now the programm should crash (as described above)

3. no you remove dependencies after your favoured method (good guessing, Bisection , 1-by-1 ..) to find the "bad" dependency. Maybe someone has a better (more professional) method, this one worked for me.

now you can descide what to do, maybe a new version is available, in our case it was out own package of a colleage, where he included a package of a colleage, which i could exclude.

public class Test {
    public Test() {
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            StringReader reader = new StringReader("");
            JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(TestXML.class);
            Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
            TestXML testXMLs = (TestXML) unmarshaller.unmarshal(reader);
        } catch (JAXBException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

and the testXML class

@XmlRootElement(name="rss")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class TestXML {   
    public TestXML() {
    }

    @XmlElementWrapper(name="channel")
    @XmlElement(name="item")
    private int i ;

    public int getI() {
        return i;
    }    
    public void setI(int i) {
        this.i = i;
    }
}

BTW: In my case it was

    jcs
    jcs
    1.3

Hope that helps.
