Unmarshalling Fails but Marshalling Works

[mstewart]

I have a <ws:outbound-gateway>. I'm able to marshall using a marshalling-transformer and also by setting the marshaller attribute in the outbound-gateway (I just choose one).

But when setting a unmarshalling-transformer or setting the unmarshaller attribute, I get a ClassCastException

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to org.example.Magazine

Which is expected because the message that's received from the web service is indeed a String. But isn't it that's reason why we have unmarshallers? To unmarshall those back to object? Whose gonna convert that String back to Object?

If the marshalling works, then it means the JaxB generated classes are correct. So the unmarshalling process should work as well?

By the way when I print out the String result from the web service, I get the correct response but I needed it back as an object

SOLVED

The issue was a mispelling in the web service elements. Instead of uppercase S it should had been lower case s!
