'JAXB unmarshalling - reader cannot be null

I want to retrieve some data from JMS, filter them and send them to REST server. When I unmarshal those data I get an error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: reader can not be null
at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.UnmarshallerImpl.unmarshal0(UnmarshallerImpl.java:370) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.UnmarshallerImpl.unmarshal(UnmarshallerImpl.java:356) at org.apache.camel.converter.jaxb.JaxbDataFormat.unmarshal(JaxbDataFormat.java:300) at org.apache.camel.support.processor.UnmarshalProcessor.process(UnmarshalProcessor.java:76) at org.apache.camel.processor.errorhandler.RedeliveryErrorHandler$SimpleTask.run(RedeliveryErrorHandler.java:471) at org.apache.camel.impl.engine.DefaultReactiveExecutor$Worker.schedule(DefaultReactiveExecutor.java:193) at org.apache.camel.impl.engine.DefaultReactiveExecutor.scheduleMain(DefaultReactiveExecutor.java:64) at org.apache.camel.processor.Pipeline.process(Pipeline.java:184) at org.apache.camel.impl.engine.CamelInternalProcessor.process(CamelInternalProcessor.java:399) at org.apache.camel.impl.engine.DefaultAsyncProcessorAwaitManager.process(DefaultAsyncProcessorAwaitManager.java:83) at org.apache.camel.support.AsyncProcessorSupport.process(AsyncProcessorSupport.java:41) at org.apache.camel.component.jms.EndpointMessageListener.onMessage(EndpointMessageListener.java:132) at org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer.doInvokeListener(AbstractMessageListenerContainer.java:736) at org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer.invokeListener(AbstractMessageListenerContainer.java:696) at org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer.doExecuteListener(AbstractMessageListenerContainer.java:674) at org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractPollingMessageListenerContainer.doReceiveAndExecute(AbstractPollingMessageListenerContainer.java:318) at org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractPollingMessageListenerContainer.receiveAndExecute(AbstractPollingMessageListenerContainer.java:257) at org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer$AsyncMessageListenerInvoker.invokeListener(DefaultMessageListenerContainer.java:1237) at org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer$AsyncMessageListenerInvoker.executeOngoingLoop(DefaultMessageListenerContainer.java:1227) at org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer$AsyncMessageListenerInvoker.run(DefaultMessageListenerContainer.java:1120) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1128) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:628) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:829) 14:46:44.399 [Camel (camel-1) thread #1 - JmsConsumer[MATERIALS_ENRICHED]] DEBUG org.apache.camel.processor.Pipeline - Message exchange has failed: so breaking out of pipeline for exchange: Exchange[3917DB1BA45A384-0000000000000013] Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: reader can not be null

I found out the reader which is null is created in unmarshal method in JaxbDataFormat class:

public Object unmarshal(Exchange exchange, InputStream stream) throws IOException {
        try {
            XMLStreamReader xmlReader;
            if (this.needFiltering(exchange)) {
                xmlReader = (XMLStreamReader)this.typeConverter.convertTo(XMLStreamReader.class, exchange, this.createNonXmlFilterReader(exchange, stream));
            } else {
                xmlReader = (XMLStreamReader)this.typeConverter.convertTo(XMLStreamReader.class, exchange, stream);
            }
            ...
        }
}

I suspect I miss something in my pom.xml file:

And here's my code of the integration:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        PropertiesReader properties = new PropertiesReader("properties.properties");

        ActiveMQConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("tcp://" + properties.getProperty("activemq-host"));
        Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
        connection.start();
        CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();
        context.addComponent("activemq", JmsComponent.jmsComponentAutoAcknowledge(connectionFactory));

        context.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
            @Override
            public void configure() throws Exception {
                JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(ObjectFactory.class);
                JaxbDataFormat xmlDataFormat = new JaxbDataFormat(jaxbContext);

                restConfiguration()
                        .component("undertow")
                        .host(properties.getProperty("rest-host"))
                        .port(properties.getProperty("rest-port"))
                        .bindingMode(RestBindingMode.auto);

                from("activemq:topic:MATERIALS_ENRICHED?clientId=420&durableSubscriptionName=foo2")
                        .unmarshal(xmlDataFormat)
                        .filter(simple("${body.type} in 'A1,A2,A3'"))
                        .bean(JsonMapper.class, "process")
                        .delay(20000)
                        .process(exchange -> exchange.getIn().setHeader(Exchange.CONTENT_TYPE, constant("application/json")))
                        .to("rest:post:materials");
            }
        });
        context.start();
    }

Can you please give me a hint what is wrong? I'm running out of ideas what to try. Please help me.

EDIT: In intellij this works just fine, the problem appears when I pack the integration in JAR.



Solution 1:[1]

Okay, I've got it. I was running fat jar, when I had created a thin jar and then ran it it worked.
