I’m getting this error when trying to access my webservice running inside tomcat.

Caused by: java.lang.LinkageError: JAXB 2.0 API is being loaded from the bootstrap classloader, but this RI (from jar:file:/C:/software/tomcat6/webapps/messaging/WEB-INF/lib/jaxb-impl-2.1.5.jar!/com/sun/xml/bind/v2/model/impl/ModelBuilder.class) needs 2.1 API. Use the endorsed directory mechanism to place jaxb-api.jar in the bootstrap classloader. (See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/standards/)

I googled for the error and did what should solve it (I put jaxb-api.jar, version 2.1 in JDK/lib/endorsed and JDK/jre/lib/endorsed) but it doesn’t appear to have any effect.

I didn’t have it before, and I’m not sure what was changed. I use JDK 6u10.

    Java 6u10 includes JAXB 2.1, so there is no need to include it at all (it has been included since 6u4).

    Right now it looks like you have a conflict between JAXB included with a webapp and the bundled JAXB that comes with JRE. You could try removing the JAXB jar from your webapp (C:/software/tomcat6/webapps/messaging/WEB-INF/lib/jaxb-impl-2.1.5.jar) and rely on the built-in version.
