Error description

  • java.lang.InstantiationError:
    ch.css.common.ibm.jaxb.bug.Child
    at
    ch.css.common.ibm.jaxb.bug.Child_JAXB_Deserialization_Stub.start
    (ch.css.common.ibm.jaxb.bug.Child_JAXB_Deserialization_Stub.java
    )
    
    This problem resulted using Subclasses in a List or child XML
    elements after setting system property
    -Djaxb.fp.fallback.for.typed.arrays=true for
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PI80477)
    
    XML development reproduced the issue locally and confirmed that
    it was related to enabling jaxb.fp.fallback.for.typed.arrays
    property.
    
    Depending on contents of JAXBContext (if does have typed array
    such as int[]) there is no difference between
    -Dcom.ibm.xml.xlxp.jaxb.opti.level=2 set and without it. As the
    JAXBContexts with arrays such as int[] are not supported by
    optimized code.
