[FIXED] javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

Issue

I created dynamic project by using Eclipse. In this project , I have added the hibernate Configuration for mysql database. I am using the servlet for crud operations. I know in maven project the required dependency can be added but not for web applications. I have added the Java.persistance jar files into lib folder. Here is the project structure..

Here is the Hibernate code.

package net.javaguides.usermanagement.utl;

import java.util.Properties;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Environment;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;

import net.javaguides.usermanagement.model.User;

/**
 * Java based configuration
 * @author ramesh Fadatare
 *
 */
public class HibernateUtil {
 private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;

 public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
  if (sessionFactory == null) {
   try {
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration();

    // Hibernate settings equivalent to hibernate.cfg.xml's properties
    Properties settings = new Properties();
    settings.put(Environment.DRIVER, "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    settings.put(Environment.URL, "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/demo?useSSL=false");
    settings.put(Environment.USER, "root");
    settings.put(Environment.PASS, "");
    settings.put(Environment.DIALECT, "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect");

    settings.put(Environment.SHOW_SQL, "true");

    settings.put(Environment.CURRENT_SESSION_CONTEXT_CLASS, "thread");

    settings.put(Environment.HBM2DDL_AUTO, "create-drop");

    configuration.setProperties(settings);
    configuration.addAnnotatedClass(User.class);

    ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
      .applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).build();
    System.out.println("Hibernate Java Config serviceRegistry created");
    sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
    return sessionFactory;

   } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
   }
  }
  return sessionFactory;
 }
}

Here is the servlet.

package net.javaguides.usermanagement.web;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.List;

import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import net.javaguides.usermanagement.dao.UserDao;
import net.javaguides.usermanagement.model.User;

/**
 * ControllerServlet.java
 * This servlet acts as a page controller for the application, handling all
 * requests from the user.
 * @email Ramesh Fadatare
 */

@WebServlet("/")
public class UserServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private UserDao userDao;

    public void init() {
        userDao = new UserDao();
    }

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        doGet(request, response);
    }

    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        String action = request.getServletPath();

        try {
            switch (action) {
                case "/new":
                    showNewForm(request, response);
                    break;
                case "/insert":
                    insertUser(request, response);
                    break;
                case "/delete":
                    deleteUser(request, response);
                    break;
                case "/edit":
                    showEditForm(request, response);
                    break;
                case "/update":
                    updateUser(request, response);
                    break;
                default:
                    listUser(request, response);
                    break;
            }
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            throw new ServletException(ex);
        }
    }

    private void listUser(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws SQLException, IOException, ServletException {
        List < User > listUser = userDao.getAllUser();
        request.setAttribute("listUser", listUser);
        RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("user-list.jsp");
        dispatcher.forward(request, response);
    }

    private void showNewForm(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("user-form.jsp");
        dispatcher.forward(request, response);
    }

    private void showEditForm(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws SQLException, ServletException, IOException {
        int id = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id"));
        User existingUser = userDao.getUser(id);
        RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("user-form.jsp");
        request.setAttribute("user", existingUser);
        dispatcher.forward(request, response);

    }

    private void insertUser(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws SQLException, IOException {
        String name = request.getParameter("name");
        String email = request.getParameter("email");
        String country = request.getParameter("country");
        User newUser = new User(name, email, country);
        userDao.saveUser(newUser);
        response.sendRedirect("list");
    }

    private void updateUser(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws SQLException, IOException {
        int id = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id"));
        String name = request.getParameter("name");
        String email = request.getParameter("email");
        String country = request.getParameter("country");

        User user = new User(id, name, email, country);
        userDao.updateUser(user);
        response.sendRedirect("list");
    }

    private void deleteUser(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws SQLException, IOException {
        int id = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id"));
        userDao.deleteUser(id);
        response.sendRedirect("list");
    }
}

Here is the result when I run the applications.

Solution

As @andrewjames pointed out, you need to download the JAXB-API library and an implementation, they are required by Hibernate.

Although you do not use Maven for dependency management, you can download the corresponding artifacts by clicking in the jar link that you can find in the Files row in the HTML table presented in the artifact page.

You need to download:

• The JAXB-API
• A JAXB Runtime, for instance, the reference implementation from Glassfish.

You already have javax.activation in your dependencies. It is required by JAXB-API.
