6.1.1: Unexpected driver error occurred while connecting to database: javax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter

Hello,

I am using DBeaver with gooddada ADS driver (wrapper over vertica JDBC) for 3 years now. After today update to DBeaver 6.1.1, I am getting this error:

Unexpected driver error occurred while connecting to database javax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter

Tried on both JDK8 and JDK11. The only working combination is 6.1.0 with oracle JDK 8, it does not work with openJDK 11.

debug.log:

I don’t know why it didn’t operate in JDK8. However, since JDK9, ‘java.xml.bind’ package has been not involved in JRE basically. Therefore, how about trying to do likes below?

※ Suppose AWS REDSHIFT connection is equal to your GOODDATA_DATAWAREHOUSE connection.

@dorbae Ok, thanks for the information. Closing.
