Trying to get past a class cast exception here:
FooClass fooClass = (FooClass ) unmarshaller.unmarshal(inputStream);
throws this exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement
I don't understand this – as the class was generated by the xjc.bat tool – and the classes it generated I have not altered at all – so there should be no casting problems here – the unmarshaller should really be giving me back a class that CAN be cast to FooClass.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Does
FooClass
have theXmlRootElement
annotation? If not, try:That's based on the Unofficial JAXB Guide.
