Any idea on what could wrong with my code?

Answer 1

Check for the address and port in the endpoint in the wsdl.

<wsdl:port binding="" name="">
  <soap:address location=""/>
</wsdl:port>

Generate the client again and try calling the web service.

Answer 2

Which encoding are you using and what encoding is on your received text? wstx expects the character to be a valid IsoControl character suggests you're using ISO in your system and maybe receiving UTF-8 or some other incompatible encoding. Make sure encodings match and there should be no problem.
