How to catch XML parsing errors in JAXB SOAP message processing?

Can JAXB be used to intercept XML parsing for payload validation?

I created code bindings for SharePoint WSDL using java tool wsimport

. I am calling a SOAP method called GetListItems

in SharePoint, the generated code parses the XML for me that is returned from the server.

This parsing does not work; this is a known issue in SharePoint that allows users to put special characters in certain things that break the XML that SharePoint generates.

This stack trace gives a hint Character reference "&#])

(note the lack of a closing double quote) - I am now thinking that there is an unprintable character or something funky in the XML file that exposes the parsing. The fix starts with knowing more about how it happens. Suggestions?
