JDBC Input Error after upgrading to 7.10.0 on Windows

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi All,

I updated my Windows DEV environment to 7.10.0 from 7.9.2 earlier today. When I try to run my existing Logstash configurations in 7.10.0 (which worked fine under 7.9.2) I see the following error:

[2020-11-27T12:06:12,605][ERROR][logstash.inputs.jdbc ][main][d0af23ae1e46c4686c19aa4f8968d5207dbc491cb54cb93401277b0cd6d68d82] Unable to connect to database. Tried 1 times {:error_message=>"Java::JavaLang::NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter"}

This appears similar to an issue reported with an earlier version of Logstash a while back.

However, I've tried the workaround suggested there which was to copy the SQL driver into the logstash-core/lib/jars area, and supply just quotes for the jdbc_driver_library parameter on the configuration input, but it didn't make any difference in my case.

Anyone else encountered this?

Cheers,
Steve

Anybody else encountered this issue. Looks like I might have to switch back to 7.9.x if there's no workaround within 7.10 currently.

Cheers,
