I need to consume a web service in my project. I use NetBeans so I right-clicked on my project and tried to add a new "Web Service Client". Last time I checked, this was the way to create a web service client. But it resulted in an AssertionError, saying:
java.lang.AssertionError: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: jar:file:/path/to/glassfish/modules/jaxb-osgi.jar!/com/sun/tools/xjc/reader/xmlschema/bindinfo/binding.xsd; lineNumber: 52; columnNumber: 88; schema_reference: Failed to read schema document 'xjc.xsd', because 'file' access is not allowed due to restriction set by the accessExternalSchema property.
The default Java platform for NetBeans was JDK8 (Oracle's official version), so when I changed my netbeans.conf file and made JDK7 (from Oracle, as well) as my default, everything worked fine. So I think the problem is with JDK8. Here is my java -version output:
java version "1.8.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode)
For now, I'm keeping JDK7 as my default Java platform. If there is a way to make JDK8 work please share.

Well, I found the solution. (based on http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/XMLConstants.html#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA)
Create a file named
jaxp.properties(if it doesn't exist) under/path/to/jdk1.8.0/jre/liband then write this line in it:That's all. Enjoy JDK 8.
