edge-ttp XDR simulators (H2 Tests 10/11/12/16) never notify ETT - cards stuck Pending since the Jul 22 rebuild (likely missing JAXB provider in xdstools)

[REDA ELAMRI]

Hi Sai / ETT team,

The XDR send cards (Test By Criteria > H2 > (i)(C) Send using Edge Protocol - XDR, Tests 10/11/12/16) never leave Pending: LOGS show only "ran tc 10", no captured request, no validation report. We have reproduced the mechanism, so this should be a quick fix on the toolkit host.

What happens (verified Sept 30):

1. ETT sends the Direct message, our HISP converts it and POSTs the ITI-41 to the simulator. We tried both endpoints the card gives out - the ett.healthit.gov:11084 TLS endpoint at 22:29:17Z and the 34.235.25.130:11080 endpoint at 22:34:46Z - from 66.6.125.16, Direct To Address xdr-s...@direct.isharemedicalrecords.com. The simulator returns HTTP 200 / RegistryResponse Success.
2. The sims are configured correctly (toolkit REST, /xdstools/rest/simulators/edge-ttp__10): Transaction_Notification_URI = ett.healthit.gov:8888/ett/api/xdrNotification, Transaction_Notification_Class = gov.nist.healthcare.ttt.xdr.api.XDRServlet, Creation Time Jul 22 2026. ETT's TkListener route api/xdrNotification/{id} is live (a GET to it returns 400, not 404).
3. So the missing piece is the toolkit's notification POST to <URI>/toolkitcallback. On a local copy of the same toolkit (xdstools 7.10.0 on Java 8) that POST fails silently every time with:

   INFO: Callback to http://.../toolkitcallback
   SEVERE: MessageBodyWriter not found for media type=application/xml, type=class gov.nist.toolkit.transactionNotificationService.TransactionLogBean
   groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.util.logging.Logger.error() ... [Error on notify for simulator edge-ttp__10 ...]

   i.e. the Jersey client has no JAXB provider to serialise TransactionLogBean, and the toolkit's own error handler then throws, so nothing is logged at the card level. Adding jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar, jaxb-runtime-2.3.3.jar and jersey-media-jaxb-2.33.jar to xdstools/WEB-INF/lib fixed it locally: the card then advances and the report is emailed.

Could you check the toolkit's catalina.out on the edge-ttp host for that SEVERE line around 22:29Z / 22:34Z on Sept 30, and add the JAXB jars (or run the toolkit on a JDK that still ships JAXB)? Once it is back we will re-run Tests 10/11/12/16 immediately and confirm.

Background and earlier attempts are in my Sept 26 thread "XDR 'Send using Edge Protocol - XDR' (h)(2) Test 10 - SUT's XDR reaches ETT but card stays Pending". We are working against an Oct 21 package freeze, so this is our last open ETT item.

Thank you,
