[8u-dev] Request for approval: 8145039: JAXB marshaller fails with ClassCastException on classes generated by xjc

[Aleksej Efimov]

Hi,

Please, approve backport of xjc tool fix [1] to JDK8u-dev.
The source fix for this bug was delivered to JDK9 as part of sync 
process with upstream JAXWS project [2].
The change that fixed reported issue was partially, but cleanly 
backported to JDK8 CTypeRef class. Original JDK9 changes to this class 
can be viewed at this location [3].
Test for this issue was backported cleanly. JCK and JTREG tests 
(including the backported one) were executed over the modified JDK8 
without failures.

Best Regards,
Aleksej
