Getting the above mentioned error while generating JWT token at below mentioned code :
Jwts.builder().setClaims(claims).setExpiration(generateExpirationDate()).signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS512, secret).compact();
Adding JAXB API dependency solved my issue.
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.xml.bind/jaxb-api -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
For future reference, the solution was adding the following dependency in order to avoid the java 11 issue:
For Maven projects:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
</dependency>
For gradle projects:
compile 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.1'
Credits to @Giggs
Adding this dependency to the pom file worked for me :
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version><!--$NO-MVN-MAN-VER$-->
</dependency>
