Description

I have beans and service classes with no package names in my webservices.
These worked perfectly fine in cxf 2.7.6

Recently we are trying to upgrade to a newer cxf version 3.1.13 and i am getting NullPointerException at

at org.apache.cxf.jaxb.Utils.getMethodXJTA(Utils.java:294) at
org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer.walkReferences(JAXBContextInitializer.java:416)

I did debug into cxf, by downloading cxf source and i see its failing at
below line,
m.getDeclaringClass().getPackage().getAnnotation(XmlJavaTypeAdapters.class)

The reason its failing is there is no package name for my beans and services.
