Parse SOAP XML response, Error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog

Expected Output:
- Get the Supplier Details by Entering the ZipCode as Input

Issue:
- Error showing at 3rd line of try catch block in SupplierDetail.java
- While unmarshaling it throws the Exception. See error log

javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException - with linked exception: [org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.]

WSDL:
Endpoint http://www.webservicex.net/medicareSupplier.asmx?WSDL

Use GetSupplierByZipCode Method to the Supplier Details from given WSDL

Step 1: Using wsimport tool generate stubs

wsimport -keep -d "path" http://www.webservicex.net/medicareSupplier.asmx?WSDL

Step 2: Created a Dynamic Web Project 1. Added the generated files to project

Below is the Code
index.jsp

    Returning Multiple values

    With SOAP it is possible to return multiple values in a single request. This is impossible in Java as a method can only return one object.

    JAX-WS solves this problem with the concept of Holders. A javax.xml.ws.Holder is a simple wrapper object that can be passed into the @WebService method as a parameter. The application sets the value of the holder during the request and the server will send the value back as an OUT parameter.

        MediCareSupplier mediCare = new MediCareSupplier();
    MediCareSupplierSoap mediCareSOAP = mediCare.getMediCareSupplierSoap();

    Holder<Boolean> getSupplierByZipCodeResult = new Holder<Boolean>();
    Holder<SupplierDataList> supplierDataLists = new Holder<SupplierDataList>();
    mediCareSOAP.getSupplierByZipCode(zip, getSupplierByZipCodeResult, supplierDataLists);

    List<SupplierData> supplierDataList = supplierDataLists.value.getSupplierDatas().getSupplierData();

    loop through the supplierDataList and get all the data
