solved the problem!

try changing the JDK you are using. I originally ran mine using JDK 1.6.0. I modified setpaths.bat found in the root of the Alfresco folder (e.g. c:\alfresco) and changed

SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0

to:

SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12

Note: you may have a different path for your JDK so use it accordingly.

Instead of changing JDK's, you can add the JAXB 2.1 jars to the Java endorsed directory. This should be specified in the alfresco or tomcat startup script such as -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/endorsed. Copy the jaxb-api-2.1.jar from the alfresco WEB-INF/lib directory to the endorsed directory and the newer api should be picked up when you start alfresco/tomcat.

What does the endorsed directory for tomcat mean?
I'm using tomcat from the Alfresco bundle – there is no endorsed directory.
In fact, there is no longer even a tomcat/common directory.
Where should I move this file to avoid this error?

Thanks

Exactly same problem as above.
Tomcat/common does not exist anymore.
I tried to create directory tomcat/common/endorsed and put the jar right here… It did not work out

Hi,
The Tomcat documentation on the Apache Tomcat site tells you how to re-add the common or endorsed directories.
Also, our Wiki has some information as well: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Install_Tomcat6

We also noticed that earlier versions of the JDK6 had conflicts with Tomcat/Alfresco, so please ensure you are using u7 or later.
