JaxbRepresentation gives error “doesnt contain ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index”

I am trying to create a sample test application which converts an object to JaxbRepresentation. But when I try to run this, it gives me an error.

Main.java file

package test_jaxb;

import org.restlet.Server;
import org.restlet.data.Protocol;

public class Main {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      Server helloServer = new Server(Protocol.HTTP, 8111,
      TestResource.class);
      helloServer.start();
    }

}

TestResource.java file

package test_jaxb;

import org.restlet.ext.jaxb.JaxbRepresentation;
import org.restlet.representation.Representation;
import org.restlet.resource.ResourceException;
import org.restlet.resource.ServerResource;

public class TestResource extends ServerResource{

   @Override
   protected Representation get() throws ResourceException {
      SampleResponse res = new SampleResponse();
      res.setMsg("Success");
      res.setStatusCode(0);
      JaxbRepresentation<SampleResponse> representation = new JaxbRepresentation<SampleResponse>(res);
      return representation;
   }
}

SampleResponse.java file

package test_jaxb;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement(name="Response")
public class SampleResponse {
   private int statusCode;
   private String msg;

   @XmlElement(name="Msg")
   public String getMsg() {
      return msg;
   }

   public void setMsg(String msg) {
      this.msg = msg;
   }

   @XmlElement(name="StatusCode")
   public int getStatusCode() {
      return statusCode;
   }

   public void setStatusCode(int statusCode) {
      this.statusCode = statusCode;
   }
}

When I run this on the server, it throws the following error:

Answer

To get rid of additional jaxb.index files you may use Java class to instantiate the context:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/bind/JAXBContext.html#newInstance(java.lang.Class…)

Usually you need to pass in only single java class because other classes are “statically reachable from these class(es)” so JAXB is able to identify them.
