Answer 1

Another cause that I've run into is that some of the classes being serialized didn't have no-argument constructors.

Answer 2

Just to add another possible reason for this error:

I encountered this problem when I was migrating an operator from our main code to a standalone library that other teams could use. Our design called for the operator to be available from either location from our own project, so I just copy/pasted a whole mess of code into another project and packaged it up into a lib, and then added that lib to the lib directory. However, when I ran it with this configuration, I got this duplicate annotations error. To fix the problem, I just needed to modify the @XmlType name parameter. All I did was just add "Op" to all the annotation names in the library. No other change was required.

Answer 3

You can find which classes and which methods have problems -along with a detailed message- by debugging check() method of Builder inner-class of IllegalAnnotationsException class.

Look at the entries in list of IllegalAnnotationsException.

I am using jaxb-impl-2.2.11

Answer 4

This error typically appears when you annotate both the field and the property. Since you have specified XmlAccessType.FIELD you should only annotate the field (instance variable).

You have

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class UserDetail {

    @XmlElement
    private String title;

    @XmlElement
    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

}

Change to:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class UserDetail {

    @XmlElement
    private String title;

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

}

This matches what the exception is telling you. It points to UserDetail.getTitle() and UserDetail.title.

Class has two properties of the same name "title"
