java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Exception in java

Question

I am generating java classes from xsd using JAXB 1.0 (JDK 1.5 and Java Web Service Developer Pack 1.5). It is working fine in local. When, I tried in server, I am getting the following exception.

ErrMsg=[Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/xml/bind/unmarshaller/InterningXMLReader at

Any help?

Answer 1

You need to add jaxb-impl.jar to your Java Build Path. If you are using Eclipse then right-click your project, go to Properties->Java Build Path, click the Add External JARs... button, and finally select jaxb-ri-20110512/lib/jaxb-impl.jar. This should automatically add jaxb-api.jar, activation.jar, jsr173_1.0_api.jar, and jaxb1-impl.jar in addition to jaxb-impl.jar. Now there shouldn't be any more problems.

Answer 2

You miss the jaxb-impl.jar in your classpath. Download and add it.
