Java 11 use gives a exception com/sun/xml/bind/Utils not found

[mgoel-uscis]

We have used with Java 8this plugin and so far had no issues but with an effort to migrate to Java 11 we are getting this exception - com/sun/xml/bind/Utils class not found.

We have included all possible combinations of dependencies as suggested by your plugin and others but to no avail.

// implementation "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1"
// implementation "javax.xml.ws:jaxws-api:2.3.1"
// implementation "org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.2"
// implementation "org.glassfish.main.javaee-api:javax.jws:3.1.2.2"
// implementation "com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj:saaj-impl:1.5.1"

implementation 'com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc:2.3.0.1'
implementation 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1'
implementation 'javax.xml.ws:jaxws-api:2.3.1'
implementation 'org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-wsdl:3.2.7'
implementation 'javax.jws:javax.jws-api:1.1'

compile group: 'javax.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-api', version: '2.3.1'
compile group: 'org.glassfish.jaxb', name:'jaxb-runtime', version: '2.3.1'

I even added in libs folder jaxb-impl jar but it just does not pick up the jar file to resolve the class

so we use it like this

buildScript -
dependencies {
classpath 'no.nils:wsdl2java:0.12'

}

task -
wsdl2java {
wsdlsToGenerate = [
["$projectDir/src/main/resources/wsdl/VerificationServices.wsdl"]
]

}

plugins we add - id "no.nils.wsdl2java"

Please help us resolve this issue.

TIA

Works for me if I add this to build.gradle:

wsdl2java("com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.3.3")

This works for me:

wsdl2java 'org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons:jaxb2-basics-runtime:0.11.1'
wsdl2java 'org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons:jaxb2-basics:0.11.1'
wsdl2java "javax.xml.ws:jaxws-api:2.3.1"
wsdl2java "org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.1"
wsdl2java "org.glassfish.main.javaee-api:javax.jws:3.1.2.2"
wsdl2java "com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj:saaj-impl:1.5.1"
wsdl2java "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1"
wsdl2java "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-core:2.3.0.1"
wsdl2java "org.glassfish.main.javaee-api:javax.jws:3.1.2.2"
wsdl2java "com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj:saaj-impl:1.5.1"
wsdl2java group: 'javax.activation', name: 'javax.activation-api', version: '1.2.0'

I got the same issue but it worked for me when I added:
wsdl2java "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.3.2"

[Konrad Ponichtera]

Since wsdl2java is used during Gradle build, another way can be adding jaxb-impl to the classpath during buildscript execution, like this:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath('com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.3.3')
    }
}

// ...

wsdl2java {
    wsdlsToGenerate = [
      // config omitted
    ]
}

This ensures that the jaxb-impl won't end up in the built package - it's used only during Gradle task execution.
