Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.model.annotation.AnnotationReader
You might think that following issue is very simple, but I don't know what I did wrong here. I feel I added required dependencies. Haven't I?
Could anyone please suggest me whats wrong here?

Answer
As per link: Why has AnnotationReader been removed from JAXB reference implementation?, you need to simply use below maven dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.2.11</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
<version>2.2.11</version>
</dependency>
You need to refactor code a bit. Also looks like you've not created same name fields of model class, it should be like below: Person.java
@XmlRootElement(name="Person")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Person {
@XmlElement
private String first;
@XmlElement
private String last;
@XmlElement
private String age;
public String getFirst() {
return first;
}
public void setFirst(String first) {
this.first = first;
}
public String getLast() {
return last;
}
public void setLast(String last) {
this.last = last;
}
public String getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(String age) {
this.age = age;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Person [first=" + first + ", last=" + last + ", age=" + age + "]";
}
}
Book.java
@XmlRootElement(name="book")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Book {
private List<Person> person = new ArrayList<Person>();
public List<Person> getPerson() {
return person;
}
public void setPerson(List<Person> person) {
this.person = person;
}
}
ReadXMLFileJaxb.java
public class ReadXMLFileJaxb {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File file = new File(ReadXMLFileDOM.class.getClassLoader().getResource("book.xml").getFile());
try {
JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Book.class);
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
Book book = (Book) unmarshaller.unmarshal(file);
System.out.println(book.getPerson().size());
for (int i = 0; i < book.getPerson().size(); i++) {
System.out.println("------------");
System.out.println(book.getPerson().get(i).getFirst());
System.out.println(book.getPerson().get(i).getLast());
System.out.println(book.getPerson().get(i).getAge());
}
} catch (JAXBException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
The below output I see:
3
------------
Kiran
Pai
22
------------
Bill
Gates
46
------------
Steve
Jobs
40
