Re: Grails 2.0.0RC1: Deploying on Java 1.5

[MarkusE]

ran into same problem, but could fix it with a "grails clean".

So everything will compile from source and you will have a war which should run under 1.5.

 

But now I'm getting <b>java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext</b>

 

btw, I'm on Grails 2.0.3 and replaced WEB-INF/lib/grails-datastore-*1.0.4.RELEASE.jar with grails-*-core-1.0.7.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.jar (see http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-8791)

JAXB is provided by the JRE on Java 6 but not on Java 5, you probably
need to add dependencies on jaxb-api and jaxb-impl.  The same is true of
other APIs like JAX-WS, StAX and javax.activation.

OK, I tried downloading JAXB from http://jaxb.java.net/ but this site is
currently under maintenance.

Is there a possibility to add these dependencies in BuildConfig.groovy (in
order that the needed jar get automatically fetched from a repository)?

Thanks,
Markus

That's what I meant, both the API (javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api) and impl
(com.sun.xml.bins:jaxb-impl) are in Maven Central.

Ah, great, thanks a lot! Now my Grails 2.0.3 app is running with Java 1.5 on
WebSphere 6.1.

But I'm curious from where I could get the correct dependency syntax,
especially the version?
According to http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.xml.bind/jaxb-api the
latest release of jaxb-api is 2.2.6, so I added

  runtime 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.6'

This caused to download following jars during war creating:
- activation-1.1.jar
- jaxb-api-2.2.jar
- stax-api-1.0-2.jar

Since everything seems to work fine I think it's not a problem that I don't
have the newest jar of jaxb-api. But I'm wondering if it's possible to get
always the latest stable release with another syntax? Omitting :version does
not work.

Thank you,
Markus

sorry, my mistake.
jaxb-api-2.2.6.jar is correctly downloaded (I was in the wrong project...)

But my question remains:
Do I always have to hardcode the version of a dependency or is there another
way to get always the "best" or latest stable one?

I figured out that I can use

 

runtime 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:latest.release'

 

in BuildConfig.groovy which will pack jaxb-api-2.2.6.jar into the war.
