Hi, Please find below a somewhat trivial patch for
8150173: JAXBContext.newInstance causes PrivilegedActionException when createContext's declared in absract class extended by discovered JAXB implementation https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150173 Patch: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8150173/webrev.00 This is an oversight that was introduced with JDK-8145104. The issue is simply that newInstance() must be invoked on the concrete class, not on the class that defines the createContext method. best regards, -- daniel
