unexpected element (uri:"", local:"Group"). Expected elements are <{}group>
Meet an exception when unmarshalling from xml
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Group.class);
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
Group group = (User)unmarshaller.unmarshal(new File("group.xml"));
Group class has no any annotation and group.xml just contains data.
Anything can be the cause?
I had the same issue.
I added following attributes to <xs:schema..>
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://www.example.com/schemas/ArrayOfMarketWithStations"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/schemas/ArrayOfMarketWithStations"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" >
and re-generated java classes by running xjc, which corrected package-info.java.
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "http://www.example.com/schemas/ArrayOfMarketWithStations", elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
This fixed the issue for me.
In case you are going crazy because this happens only in your Tests and you are using PowerMock this is the solution, add it on top of your test class:
@PowerMockIgnore({ "javax.xml.*", "org.xml.*", "org.w3c.*" })
This is a fix for a pretty niche use case but it gets me each time. If you are using the Eclipse Jaxb generator it creates a file called package-info.
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "blah.xxx.com/em/feed/v2/CommonFeed")
package xxx.blah.mh.domain.pl3xx.startstop;
If you delete this file it will allow a more generic xml to be parsed. Give it a try!
I had the same problem.. It helped me, I'm specify the same field names of my classes as the tag names in the xml file (the file comes from an external system).
For example:
My xml file:
<Response>
<ESList>
<Item>
<ID>1</ID>
<Name>Some name 1</Name>
<Code>Some code</Code>
<Url>Some Url</Url>
<RegionList>
<Item>
<ID>2</ID>
<Name>Some name 2</Name>
</Item>
</RegionList>
</Item>
</ESList>
</Response>
My Response class:
@XmlRootElement(name="Response")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Response {
@XmlElement
private ESList[] ESList = new ESList[1]; // as the tag name in the xml file..
// getter and setter here
}
My ESList class:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement(name="ESList")
public class ESList {
@XmlElement
private Item[] Item = new Item[1]; // as the tag name in the xml file..
// getters and setters here
}
My Item class:
@XmlRootElement(name="Item")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Item {
@XmlElement
private String ID; // as the tag name in the xml file..
@XmlElement
private String Name; // and so on...
@XmlElement
private String Code;
@XmlElement
private String Url;
@XmlElement
private RegionList[] RegionList = new RegionList[1];
// getters and setters here
}
My RegionList class:
@XmlRootElement(name="RegionList")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class RegionList {
Item[] Item = new Item[1];
// getters and setters here
}
My DemoUnmarshalling class:
public class DemoUnmarshalling {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
File file = new File("...");
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Response.class);
Unmarshaller jaxbUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
jaxbUnmarshaller.setEventHandler(
new ValidationEventHandler() {
public boolean handleEvent(ValidationEvent event ) {
throw new RuntimeException(event.getMessage(),
event.getLinkedException());
}
}
);
Response response = (Response) jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(file);
ESList[] esList = response.getESList();
Item[] item = esList[0].getItem();
RegionList[] regionLists = item[0].getRegionList();
Item[] regionListItem = regionLists[0].getItem();
System.out.println(item[0].getID());
System.out.println(item[0].getName());
System.out.println(item[0].getCode());
System.out.println(item[0].getUrl());
System.out.println(regionListItem[0].getID());
System.out.println(regionListItem[0].getName());
} catch (JAXBException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
It gives:
1
Some name 1
Some code
Some Url
2
Some name 2
If none of the above works, try adding
@XmlRootElement(name="Group")
to the Group classs.
I had the same issue, my problem was, that I had two different webservices with two different wsdl-files. I generated the sources in the same package for both webservices, which seems to be a problem. I guess it's because of the ObjectFactory and perhaps also because of the package-info.java - because those are only generated once.
I solved it, by generating the sources for each webservice in a different package. This way, you also have two different ObjectFactories and package-info.java files.
I already have the same problem and I just change as below:
@XmlRootElement -> @XmlRootElement(name="Group")
Luckily, the package-info class isn't required. I was able to fix mine problem with iowatiger08 solution.
Here is my fix showing the error message to help join the dots for some.
Error message
javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element (uri:"http://global.aon.bz/schema/cbs/archive/errorresource/0", local:"errorresource"). Expected elements are <{}errorresource>
Code before fix
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name="", propOrder={"error"})
@XmlRootElement(name="errorresource")
public class Errorresource
Code after fix
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name="", propOrder={"error"})
@XmlRootElement(name="errorresource", namespace="http://global.aon.bz/schema/cbs/archive/errorresource/0")
public class Errorresource
You can see the namespace added to @XmlRootElement as indicated in the error message.
Same to me. The name of the mapping class was Mbean
but the tag root name was mbean
so I had to add the annotation:
@XmlRootElement(name="mbean")
public class MBean { ... }
After looking more, the root element has to be associated with a schema-namespace as Blaise is noting. Yet, I didnt have a package-info java. So without using the @XMLSchema annotation, I was able to correct this issue by using
@XmlRootElement (name="RetrieveMultipleSetsResponse", namespace = XMLCodeTable.NS1)
@XmlType(name = "ns0", namespace = XMLCodeTable.NS1)
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
public class RetrieveMultipleSetsResponse {//...}
Hope this helps!
None of the solutions mentioned here worked for me, I was still getting:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element (uri:"java:XXX.XX.XX.XXX", local:"XXXXX")
After lot of research through other sites below code worked for me-
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("D:/group.xml");
SOAPMessage message = factory.createMessage(new MimeHeaders(), fis);
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Group.class);
Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
JAXBElement<Group> r = u.unmarshal(message.getSOAPBody().extractContentAsDocument(), Group.class);
Group group = r.getValue();
You need to put package-info.java
class in package of contextPath and put below code in same class:
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "https://www.namespaceUrl.com/xml/", elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package com.test.valueobject;
You need to put package-info.java in your generated jaxb package. Its content should be something like that
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "http://www.example.org/StudentOperations/")
package generated.marsh;
