Using DomPoxMessageFactory and JAXB

[lancekf]

Hi, there is an application I'm writing a web service for that needs a response in Plain Old XML (POX). I'm new to Spring WS so I followed the HolidayRequest tutorial and got it to properly receive requests and send responses but the responses were sent with the following format:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <Person>
            <FirstName>John</FirstName>
            <LastName>Smith</LastName>
        </Person>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The format I need is this:

<Person>
    <FirstName>John</FirstName>
    <LastName>Smith</LastName>
</Person>

I was hoping that it would be as simple as adding this line to spring-ws-servlet.xml:

<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.pox.dom.DomPoxMessageFactory" />

but the error I get when I test in SoapUI is:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: AbstractSoapFaultDefinitionExceptionResolver requires a SoapMessageObject of class [org.springframework.ws.pox.dom.DomPoxMessage] must be an instance of interface org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapMessage

I tried asking on Stack Overflow yesterday but haven't gotten any responses. If there is any more information I should provide, please ask. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated it.

EDIT: I put JAXB in the title but that was only from some tutorials I've been trying. I don't need to use it if there's something better/easier that gets the job done.
