Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String . Stack Trace: N/A .
Local fix
Any of the following workarounds can be used to avoid the error: - Remove the annotation from the generated classes. OR - Have an external binding file <jaxb:bindings node="//xs:element<OSB>@type='YourSimpleType'<CSB>"> <annox:annotate target="field">@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchemaType(name="Yo urSimpleType")</annox:annotate> </jaxb:bindings> OR - Change the name of XMLSchemaType to your simple Type.
Problem summary
In JAXB 2.2.7 a fix has been introduced in JAXB to impose restrictions on simple type like Enum which generates an extra annotation @XmlSchemaType which declares the type of the Simple type.However this was not handling a collection like List holding a simpleType of primitive (other than String).In this case XJC is generating the annotation @XmlSchemaType (type="anySimpleType") on the List element. During runtime, marshaller is parsing the annotation and trying to cast the List element to String and resulting in the ClassCastException
Problem conclusion
The JAX has been updated to validate the type before generating the annotation. No annotation will be generated for primitive types. This issue is handled in Oracle JDK through https://java.net/jira/browse/JAXB-986 . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR2 FP10 (8.0.2.10) .
