Description

I have a project based on Spring Boot and packaged as a fat JAR. When I try to run the application with Java 11, JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.createClient(...) leads to an error like 'javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: "..." doesnt contain ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index'.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to create JAXBContext for generated packages: "net.gcomputer.webservices" doesnt contain ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index

Startup command looks like:

java -jar application.jar

Problem doesn't appear if I use 'exploded' (unzipped) JAR instead of fat. Startup command looks like:

java -classpath "/path/to/BOOT-INF/classes:/path/to/BOOT-INF/lib/*" my.main.ClassName

Problem also doesn't appear if I run the application with Java 8 (with both jars).

snicoll suggested to post it here, because "it might be related to the way the resources is located".
