Answer 1

Looks like, you receive a serialized object via Java messaging. Have a look first, how the object is being serialized. Usually this is done with a library (jaxb, axis, …) and you could use the very same library to create a deserializer.

You will need:

1. The xml schema (a xsd file)
2. The Java bean class (very helpful, it should exist)

Then, usually the library will create all helper classes and files and you don’t have to care about parsing.
