Do you always need an ObjectFactory class when using JAXB?

Question

Do you always need an ObjectFactory class when using JAXB?

Without it I get this exception:

javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: \"com.a.b.c\"

Answer 1

I was using Spring and I just had to change

Jaxb2Marshaller mlr = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
mlr.setContextPaths("","");

to

Jaxb2Marshaller mlr = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
mlr.setPackagesToScan("","");
