How to avoid casting to a JAXBElement while making a SOAP webservice call? - spring

Question

I am having a spring boot java application. I am calling a soap web service using spring webservice template . the webservice call always return a JAXBElement. the following is my code snippet.
JAXBElement<ItemResponse> itemResponse = (JAXBElement<ItemResponse> ) getWebServiceTemplate().marshalSendAndReceive(
this.cconfServiceConfiguration.getServices().getLocation(), itemRequest,
new SoapActionCallback(this.cconfServiceConfiguration.getServices().getGetItemAction()));
return itemResponse.getValue();
The marshalSendAndReceive returns a JAXBElement. Is there any way i can rewrite the code so that it will return an Object of ItemResponse so that i can avoid casting.
The following is the ItemResponse class declaration.
#XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
#XmlType(name = "ItemResponse", propOrder = {
"result",
"item"
})
public class ItemResponse {
#XmlElement(required = true)
protected Result result;
protected Item item;
/**
* Gets the value of the result property.
*
* #return
* possible object is
* {#link Result }
*
*/
public Result getResult() {
return result;
}
/**
* Sets the value of the result property.
*
* #param value
* allowed object is
* {#link Result }
*
*/
public void setResult(Result value) {
this.result = value;
}
/**
* Gets the value of the item property.
*
* #return
* possible object is
* {#link Item }
*
*/
public Item getItem() {
return item;
}
/**
* Sets the value of the item property.
*
* #param value
* allowed object is
* {#link Item }
*
*/
public void setItem(Item value) {
this.item = value;
}
}
really appreciate if you can throw some information
