Hi, all, I see Geronimo still uses jaxb-impl version 2.0.5, while 2.1.6 is the latest stable release. Is there any particular reason for that? What do you people think about switching to 2.1.x?
I was recently investigating a nasty intermittent failure of org.apache.geronimo.cxf.CXFHandlerResolverTest test on Harmony (HARMONY-5625) and it seems the problem is in JAXB implementation. The problem occurs on jaxb-impl-2.1.3 and earlier and doesn't occur on jaxb-impl-2.1.4 and later. I suspect JAXB issue 383 [1] is the cause. In other words, bugs in jaxb-impl 2.0.5 are affecting Geronimo operation, at least on Harmony, and that looks like a reason for switching to a newer release.
