public static <T> T unmarshal(Class<T> clazz, String xml) throws JAXBException {
        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(clazz);
        Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
        JAXBElement<T> root = u.unmarshal(new StreamSource(IOUtils.toInputStream(xml)), clazz);
        return root.getValue();
