Using EclipseLink MOXy with Java 1.5

Has anyone got EclipseLink MOXy (I'm using eclipselink 2.1.0) to work with Java 5? Whenever I try to unmarshal I get a null pointer exception in org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.record.UnmarshalRecord, in the startCDATA() method (xPathNode is null). The exact same code and XML works wonderfully in Java6.

Solution

I'm the tech lead for MOXy. Can you provide the stack trace & more details on your use case?

Re your update:

I haven't been able to reproduce this on my end. I am using the following env. Do you have a test case you can send ([email protected]) or point out what I'm doing differently?:

JDK: 1.5.0_22
EclipseLink 2.1.0

The following model:

package cdata;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement
public class Customer {

    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

}

Demo code:

package cdata;

import java.io.File;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;
import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Customer.class);

        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
        Customer customer = (Customer) unmarshaller.unmarshal(new File("src/cdata/input.xml"));

        Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();
        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
        marshaller.marshal(customer, System.out);
    }
}

And XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customer>
    <firstName>Jane</firstName>
    <middleName><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0"?>]]></middleName>
    <lastName>Doe</lastName>
</customer>
