Rick McGuire commented on GERONIMO-5202:
----------------------------------------

There is a problem with using jaxb 2.2 inside the OSGi framework.  The problem occurs because jaxb 2.1 is part of the java 6 jre.  When the framework is launched, if the javax.xml.bind* packages are removed from the framework system bundle or the javax.xml.bind packages are retained, but labeled as being at the 2.1 level, the following error occurs when trying to build the server: 

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] could not package plugin

Embedded error: Cannot unmarshall the ra.xml file: jar:file:/c:/.m2/repository/o
rg/tranql/tranql-connector-derby-embed-xa/1.5/tranql-connector-derby-embed-xa-1.
5.rar!/META-INF/ra.xml
com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.JAXBContextImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.bind.JAX
BContext

This appears to be occurring because serialization code picks up the JRE-resident version of the API classes  
from the system class loader rather than from the geronimo spec jar.  This results in a class cast exception.  I was able to make this error go away by changing the version on the system bundle from 2.1 to 2.2.  This causes things to get wired correctly, but as a result, only the JRE resident version gets wired, which is not really at the jaxb 2.2 level.  This needs to be sorted out so that the real jaxb 2.2 version is used consistently.  This may require launching the server with the jaxb 2.2 bundles on the endorsed class path.
