Description

When upgrading Java 8 to 11, I am getting javax.xml dependency not found error. We are also generating java class from wsdl and xsd, using cxf-codegen plugin. That classes also uses these dependency. When tried adding the javax.xml dependency explicitly, the build was success but getting the following error while we are hitting the service.

 unwinding now
