Unrelated to your question, I'd be very interested to know why you are
doing all of that.

 In order to attempt to answer your question, we really need to see an
example of the full XML that is failing to parse and unmarshall.  I
assume it's a SAML 2 AuthnRequest?  And it's better if you send as an
attachment or post somewhere rather than pasting into the email body.
