SpringBoot Application Context does not start due to Unsatisfied dependency

Question

I have configured a bean in configuration class like below

@Configuration
public class WebServiceConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public Jaxb2Marshaller jaxb2Marshaller() {
        Jaxb2Marshaller jaxb2Marshaller = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
        jaxb2Marshaller.setPackagesToScan("package");
        return jaxb2Marshaller;
    }

}

And below is the class that is dependant on that bean that i have configured:

@Component
public class BClient {

    @Autowired
    private Jaxb2Marshaller jaxb2Marshaller;

    private WebServiceTemplate template;

    public JAXBElement<GetBankResponseType> getDetails(String blz) {
        ...
        return response;
    }

}

When I try to start the spring boot, it fails with the error below:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'bankUpClient': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'jaxb2Marshaller'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jaxb2Marshaller' defined in class path resource [soapws/configuration/SoapConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.oxm.UncategorizedMappingException: Unknown JAXB exception; nested exception is javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Implementation of JAXB-API has not been found on module path or classpath.

And what is more strange is that the integration test runs successfully. Even though , the integration test starts the application context.

@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class BClientTest {

    @Autowired
    private BClient client;


    @BeforeEach
    public void setup() {
    }

    @Test
    void testGetDetails() {
       ...
    }

}

I need some help to find out why is behaving this is happening. Any idea appriciated...

Thanks

add following dependencies to your maven or gradle dependencies section compile('javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.0') compile('javax.activation:activation:1.1') compile('org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.0') — Tashkhisi, Jun 08 '20 at 17:21
Thank you so much, you helped me a lot. That solved the problem. — , Jun 08 '20 at 17:26

I think you don't have runtime dependencies for your JAXB, just add appropriate dependencies to your dependencies section of your maven or gradle.

This should work for gradle:

compile('javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.0')
compile('javax.activation:activation:1.1')
compile('org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.0')

And this is for maven:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.xml.bind/jaxb-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0-b170201.1204</version>
</dependency>

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.activation/activation -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
    <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.glassfish.jaxb/jaxb-runtime -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0-b170127.1453</version>
</dependency>

Please check which transitive dependency is pulling jaxb-api and then check in your project pom whether it has <scope>test</scope>

then replace test with compile like below.

<scope>compile</scope>
