Deprecated javax.xml API is used to parse configuration in Ehcache3

[radistao]

javax.xml.bind » jaxb-api v2 is outdated for 6 years already and migrated to jakarta.xml.bind » jakarta.xml.bind-api v4, but Ehcache still depends on the old v2 API and implementation, in particular https://github.com/ehcache/ehcache3/blob/561af430d76847a2c8aa1ba507cf3e142ad9185e/ehcache-xml/src/main/java/org/ehcache/xml/ConfigurationParser.java#L43

For example, having:

• Spring Boot 3 with dependencies spring-boot-starter-cache, hibernate-jcache, ehcache
• configured property hibernate.javax.cache.uri=ehcache.xml (Hibernate Guide)
• javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api not provided or excluded, but jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:4.0.2 provided

The application throws exception

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean XXXXX: javax/xml/bind/ValidationEventHandler ... Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/ValidationEventHandler at org.ehcache.xml.XmlConfiguration.(XmlConfiguration.java:116) at org.ehcache.xml.XmlConfiguration.(XmlConfiguration.java:92) at org.ehcache.jsr107.EhcacheCachingProvider$ConfigSupplier.getConfiguration(EhcacheCachingProvider.java:328) at org.ehcache.jsr107.EhcacheCachingProvider.getCacheManager(EhcacheCachingProvider.java:134) at org.ehcache.jsr107.EhcacheCachingProvider.getCacheManager(EhcacheCachingProvider.java:85) at org.ehcache.jsr107.EhcacheCachingProvider.getCacheManager(EhcacheCachingProvider.java:194) at org.hibernate.cache.jcache.internal.JCacheRegionFactory.resolveCacheManager(JCacheRegionFactory.java:208) ... Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler

javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler defined in javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api but jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api defines jakarta.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler

Will the be migrated to jakarta.xml any time soon?

Thank you.
