I can't understand why this JAXB IllegalAnnotationException is thrown

Question

This is my XML file:

Answer 1

In my case, I was able to find the problem by temporarily catching the exception, descending into causes as needed (based on how deep the IllegalAnnotationException was), and calling getErrors() on it.

    try {
        // in my case, this was what gave me an exception
        endpoint.publish("/MyWebServicePort");
    // I got a WebServiceException caused by another exception, which was caused by the IllegalAnnotationsException
    } catch (WebServiceException e) {
        // Incidentally, I need to call getCause().getCause() on it, and cast to IllegalAnnotationsException before calling getErrors()
        System.err.println(((com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException)e.getCause().getCause()).getErrors());
    }
