Question

I must prepare a webservice to accept anan already defined wsdl structure. I followed the tutorial found here, with source code for the test project downloadable here.

I had the same error. My setup was as follows:

Generation of classes from an existing XSD file using the maven jaxb2-maven-plugin

    org.codehaus.mojo
    jaxb2-maven-plugin
    2.5.0
    
        
            xjc
            
                xjc
            
        
    
    
        
        com.company
        true
        true
        
            ${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/file.xsd
        
    

The handler method:

@PayloadRoot(namespace = "URI", localPart = "LOCAL_PART")
@ResponsePayload
public JAXBElement retrieveNextStatesRequest(@RequestPayload Request request) {
    // Logic
    return new Response();
}

The jaxb2-maven-plugin however has no possibility to add a XmlRoot annotation. However it provides an ObjectFactory to generate instances wrapped in JAXBElement instances.

So when changes the method accordingly the SOAP requests now work as expected:

@PayloadRoot(namespace = "URI", localPart = "LOCAL_PART")
@ResponsePayload
public Response retrieveNextStatesRequest(@RequestPayload Request request) {
    // Logic
    return new ObjectFactory.createResponse(new Response());
}
