One of the reasons for this error is the use of the jaxb implementation from the jdk. I am not sure why such a problem can appear in pretty simple xml parsing situations. You may use the latest version of the jaxb library from a public maven repository:

http://mvnrepository.com

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.12</version>
</dependency>

In our case we were getting UnmarshalException because a wrong Java package was specified in the following  The issue was resolved once the right package was in place    Bean public Unmarshaller tmsUnmarshaller         final Jaxb2Marshaller jaxb2Marshaller   new Jaxb2Marshaller        jaxb2Marshaller              setPackagesToScan  java package to generated java classes for xsd        return jaxb2Marshaller

When you generate a JAXB model from an XML Schema  global elements that correspond to named complex types will have that metadata captured as an  XmlElementDecl annotation on a create method in the ObjectFactory class   Since you are creating the JAXBContext on just the DocumentType class this metadata isn t being processed   If you generated your JAXB model from an XML Schema then you should create the JAXBContext on the generated package name or ObjectFactory class to ensure all the necessary metadata is processed   Example solution   JAXBContext jaxbContext   JAXBContext newInstance my generatedschema dir ObjectFactory class   DocumentType documentType     JAXBElement lt DocumentType gt   jaxbContext createUnmarshaller   unmarshal inputStream   getValue

Alternatively if you want to persist in using the DocumentType class  Then you could just add the following annotation on top of your DocumentType class        XmlRootElement name  document     Note  the String value  document  refers to the name of the root tag of the xml message

[java] javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element. Expected elements are (none)
