Response from JAXB endpoint is missing root element

[mskendrick]

I created an endpoint by extending org.springframework.ws.endpoint.AbstractMarshallin gPayloadEndpoint with org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb1Marshaller as the marshaller/unmarshaller. Within the invokeInternal(Object requestObject) method of the endpoint, I create a response object. When the response is rendered inside the <SOAP-ENV:Body> element, the root element of my response is missing.

Actual

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<SearchResults xmlns="urn:FindClaims/1.0">
<Claim ICN="1" firstDateOfService="2006-06-22-04:00" lastDateOfService="2006-06-22-04:00" />
</SearchResults>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>


Expected

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<FindClaimsResponse xmlns="urn:FindClaims/1.0">
<SearchResults>
<Claim ICN="1" firstDateOfService="2006-06-22-04:00" lastDateOfService="2006-06-22-04:00" />
</SearchResults>
</FindClaimsResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>


Any idea what is happening to my root element (FindClaimsResponse) in the response?

I don't know what the problem is, maybe we can help you if you post your xml schema.

I also had some problems with JAXB1.6 and all is working fine with JAXB2.0. The big disadvantage is the annotations (and Java5) thing which i doesn't like very much, but i have no choice.

Cheers,

I figured out what my problem is. First a little background. In my schema I have a xsd:complexType named "FindClaimsResponse" and an xsd:element named "FindClaimsResponse". When I generated the JAXB code, I used a bindings file to specify the element as "FindClaimsResponseElement", however I failed to use that class in my endpoint. Once I changed my endpoint to return FindClaimsResponseElement it worked!

Here is the actual schema. If you have an suggestions for improvements in my schema, I'd love to hear them:
