Can anyone answer what jar do I need to include or what is the solution?

Answer 1

Alright so problem is with eclipselink version.
Propably you are using the latest one 2.6. This error means that in above version class XMLUnmarshaller doesn't have that method. java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.XMLUnmarshaller.setNamespaceResolver

What i see from this site: http://grepcode.com/project/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.eclipse.persistence/eclipselink/
Only version from 2.42 to 2.5.2 has that method.

So my conclusion is to downgrade your eclipselink lib version to 2.5.2.

At least give a shot and check the results.
