java.lang.IllegalStateException: No unmarshaller registered. Check configuration of WebServiceTemplate

Question

When I send a SOAP request to the server it returns following error. I am not sure how I can configure unmarshaller, I am going to send SOAP requests to multiple webservices. WSDL is here.

I visited following pages but could not find a solution yet. 1,2,3

Answer 1

It seems that you didn't set the unmarshaller on your webServiceTemplate.

webServiceTemplate.setMarshaller(marshaller);
webServiceTemplate.setUnmarshaller(marshaller);
