#CookieParam("sessionId") String sessionCookie) {
}

Answer 1

Here are a couple of options for solving your problem based on what your XML looks like:
Option #1 - elementFormDefault="unqualified"
Input XML
If in your XML only the global (top level) elements are namespace qualified:
<ns:userclient xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<first_name>Jane</first_name>
<ns:userclient>
Userclient.java
Then you could just specify the namespace parameter on the #XmlRootElement annotation.
#XmlRootElement(namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
public class Userclient {
Option #2 - elementFormDefault="qualified"
Input XML
If all the elements are namespace qualified like:
<userclient xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<first_name>Jane</first_name>
<userclient>
package-info.java
You can use the package level #XmlSchema annotation to apply namespace qualification to your model.
#XmlSchema(
namespace = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml",
elementFormDefault = XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package example;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema;

Below is a link to an article on my blog that covers more about JAXB and namespace qualification:

Note
You are currently adding more annotations than are necessary. JAXB is configuration by exception so you only need to add annotations where you want the XML representation to differ from the default.

Below is a link to an article on my blog that covers more about JAXB's default XML representation:

#XmlRootElement
#XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Userclient {
private String first_name;
private String last_name;
private String email;
public Userclient() {
}
//....
}
