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.

[https://datamansamxiao.wordpress.com/2019/12/06/using-elastic-search-connect-to-sql-database-and-text-querying-by-kibana/](https://datamansamxiao.wordpress.com/2019/12/06/using-elastic-search-connect-to-sql-database-and-text-querying-by-kibana/)

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,
