  When the JAX-RS engine tries to deserialize an incoming
  message, an error similar to the following might occur:
  Caused by: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException:
  "org.apache.wink.common.model.opensearch" doesnt contain
  ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index

  com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.ContextFactory.createContext(Contex

  This particular error is encountered under the following
  circumstances:
  1) The application implements a subclass of
  org.apache.wink.common.internal.providers.entity.xml.JAXBXmlProv
  ider.
  2) The application is an OSGi application.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Liberty JAX-RS engine was changed so that the
  javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext for the referenced object is
  successfully created, and so deserialization of the message
  succeeds.
  
  Users should avoid directly accessing internal JAX-RS engine
  classes, such as implementing internal interfaces or extending
  internal classes.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
