Re: XmlAdapter compile error

Thank for the reply.  I'm only marshalling/unmarshalling on the server-side - so does that mean I should move those classes into a "server" package?  That's even if the annotation is in the shared bean?  Yes, still using GWT-RPC. Is the workaround as simple as this?

My.gwt.xml (before)

<module>

<source path="common"/>

</module> <module>

<source path="common">

<exclude name="MyXmlAdapter1.java" />

<exclude name="MyXmlAdapter1.java" />

</source>

Such annotations are not GWT compatible (i.e., they are not known to the GWT emulated JRE and definitely cannot be compiled in js, even providing the relative sources - that I think they can be found in jaxb-api-src.jar inside the jaxb distribution).
To allow jaxb annotations (and annotations only) to be used in client/shared side, you have to tell the gwt compiler to compile those classes ignoring such annotations while still allow the server side to use them.
See http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4020#c8 for the workaround.

If you are using an XmlAdapter (the class) in client code, move it to server side (i.e., keep your marshalling/unmmarshalling logic in the server).

I assumed you are using GWT-RPC of course. With RequestFactory you should have no problem at all.

I am having this issue as well.  The annotations are in models in our 'shared' package - shared between client and server.  Anyone know what I should change to resolve this?

Why not moving the adapter to the server side? Does your client really
need it?
Annotated jaxb classes can be used by the client (with a couple of
tweaks and not for all annotations), but marshalling/unmarshalling to/
from xml, still need to be handled server side. In this point of view,
the adapter can be known only to your server.

I can tell you the tweak, but first try to move it server side.
