Bean Creation Failing in Spring Boot Application

Question

I'm trying to access classes from a .jar file within my Spring Boot application. Here's how I've declared the bean initialization in RtgsTestConfiguration:

@EnableConfigurationProperties
public class RtgsTestConfiguration {

    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(RtgsTestConfiguration.class);

    @Bean
    @Scope("cucumber-glue")
    XmlToDocumentConverter xmlToDocumentConverter() {
        return new XmlToDocumentConverter();
    }
}

In my step definition file (CommonSteps), I've declared dependencies including XmlToDocumentConverter:

public class CommonSteps extends BaseSteps {

    public CommonSteps(final RtgsConfigurationProperties configurationProperties,
                       final RtgsConfigurationService<Context> contextService,
                       final ContextWorld contextWorld,
                       final AuthenticationWorld authenticationWorld,
                       final RtgsConfigurationService<Jwt> jwtService,
                       final XmlToDocumentConverter xmlToDocumentConverter)
    {

        super(configurationProperties, contextWorld, xmlToDocumentConverter);
        this.contextService = contextService;
        this.authenticationWorld = authenticationWorld;
        this.jwtService = jwtService;
    }

    @And("I validate the response, ensuring all essential fields are correctly populated.")
    public void iValidateTheResponseEnsuringAllEssentialFieldsAreCorrectlyPopulated() {       xmlToDocumentConverter.convertXmlToDocumentPacs004(ResponseValidation.responseFileName);
    }
}

I'm encountering an issue with bean creation in my Spring Boot application. I have a XmlToDocumentConverter bean defined in my RtgsTestConfiguration class, and it's failing to instantiate with the following

error:org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'xmlToDocumentConverter' defined in com.santander.api.framework.rtgs.configuration.RtgsTestConfiguration: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.isbanuk.iso20022.common.utils.converter.XmlToDocumentConverter]: Factory method 'xmlToDocumentConverter' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jakarta/xml/bind/JAXBException

It seems to be related to a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException. I've already included the necessary dependencies in my pom.xml file, but the issue persists.

I have added these dependencies

<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

I am using Java 17 in my system.
