Java – jaxp API that is not valid when unmarshalling JAXB
I have a JAXB object that I can ungroup very well However, if I add an element [] field annotated with @ xmlanyelement, the following will be thrown when trying to ungroup:
This is run through the TestNG test I ran through the eclipse plug - in I'm running the 1.6 JDK and configuring Maven to exclude older versions of XML APIs jars, but I don't seem to be able to make it work I suppose I still pick up incompatible library versions from somewhere, but I don't know where they come from
Running directly through eclipse, I get:

Solution
It seems that this problem is caused by the old version of xalan Starting with JDK 5, it seems that a minimum version of 2.7.0 is required 0. Another library provides an old version, so I excluded it from Maven build. Now everything looks good
