Description Jan Martiska 2013-09-16 08:05:28 UTC

Try compiling EAP with IBM JDK 1.6. It will fail with:

[ERROR] /home/jmartisk/Workspace/jboss-eap/patching/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/patching/metadata/PatchXml.java:[57,76] cannot find symbol
symbol  : method newFactory()
location: class javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory
[ERROR] /home/jmartisk/Workspace/jboss-eap/patching/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/patching/generator/DistributionXml.java:[54,76] cannot find symbol
symbol  : method newFactory()
location: class javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory

I think this error will cause runtime issues as well (if EAP is compiled with another JDK and then run on IBM 6), because it will appear when the classes PatchXml/DistributionXml are loaded so they can be used for parsing patch XML. However, I am unable to verify this hypothesis, because in 6.2.0.ER1, bug #1006876 prevents from applying patches on IBM JDK 6 whatsoever (the same error as described therein appears when trying to apply a patch). 

Proposed fix by pjelinek:
Instead of XMLOutputFactory.newFactory(), call XMLOutputFactory.newInstance()

Comment 1 Jan Martiska 2013-09-16 08:52:43 UTC

I don't think a fix is necessary in upstream, because WildFly 8 requires JDK 7.

Comment 3 Jan Martiska 2013-09-27 09:04:29 UTC

Fixed in 6.2.0.ER3.

Comment 7 Jan Martiska 2013-10-23 13:36:57 UTC

The exact same issue returned in ER6.

[ERROR] /home/jmartisk/Workspace/jboss-eap/patching/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/patching/metadata/PatchBundleXml.java:[49,76] cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol  : method newFactory()
[ERROR] location: class javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory

Reopening the issue rather than creating a new one to save some time (this bug already has all the acks...)

Comment 9 Jan Martiska 2013-11-05 09:26:29 UTC

Fixed in ER7.
