jaxbcontext.class. please make sure that you are specifying the proper classloader #29

Hi,

We are using Metro web service 2.2.1 in our code, we are getting the following ClassCastException.
From the error it looks like it is using the JAXBContext.class from webservices-api.jar whereas during runtime it is expecting JAXB class from jdk1.7.0_17.

As per Metro guidelines we have to package the webservices-api.jar in our application ear to make it Metro compliant.

Please let me know if there is a solution to this issue as we cannot make our webservices Metro compliant until this issue is resolved.

Please make sure that you are specifying the proper ClassLoader.
