JAXB - Send XML with namespace to REST controller in SpringBoot

I am POSTing an xml to my springboot application and receiving it into a Pojo Jaxb and returning a response . I am able to do this successfully , however if i pass xml with namespace i am getting response code as 406 and response body as no content . I tried various ways to add namespace in my Pojo and even tried adding it in package-info but i am unable to find a way to get it working , Please advice . Below is the working example with a simple xml without namespace

Pojo Employee.java

@XmlRootElement(name = "Employee")
public class Employee {  
    private int id;  
    private String name;  
    private float salary;  

    public Employee() {}  
    public Employee(int id, String name, float salary) {  
        super();  
        this.id = id;  
        this.name = name;  
        this.salary = salary;  
    }  
    @XmlAttribute  
    public int getId() {  
        return id;  
    }  
    public void setId(int id) {  
        this.id = id;  
    }  
    @XmlElement  //(namespace="http://www.example.org/property")
    public String getName() {  
        return name;  
    }  
    public void setName(String name) {  
        this.name = name;  
    }  
    @XmlElement  
    public float getSalary() {  
        return salary;  
    }  
    public void setSalary(float salary) {  
         this.salary = salary;  
    }  
}

Below is my Controller method which is getting values from the xml via POJO

@RequestMapping(value = { "/myURL" }, method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = { "application/xml" })
public ResponseEntity<?> postMethodXMLreturnXML(@RequestBody Employee list) {  
    try {
        Employee FirstValue=list;
        System.out.println("SOP : post Method started . Name " + FirstValue.getName());         
        return new ResponseEntity<Object>(Employee , HttpStatus.CREATED);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return (new ResponseEntity<String>(ErrorCodes.SERVER_ERROR.getDescription(),
                HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR));
    }
}

Below is the xml which i post to this and get desired output with valid response code and response message

Input post xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Employee>
  <id>1</id>
  <name>myName</name>
  <salary>1.1</salary>
</Employee>

But i want now to pass below xml , and when i pass below xml to this code i get response code 406 and no content , Tried adding namespace in pojo and even tried adding code to package info, Please advice Thanks in advance 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Employee>
  <myns:id>1</myns:id>
  <myns:name>myName</myns:name>
  <myns:salary>1.1</myns:salary>
</Employee>

The XML uses namespace prefixes, but the namespace itself is not defined in Employee's start tag.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Employee xmlns:myns="http://example/a/b/c">
  <myns:id>1</myns:id>
  <myns:name>myName</myns:name>
  <myns:salary>1.1</myns:salary>
</Employee>

Also add the namespace to each XML element.

@XmlElement(namespace="http://example/a/b/c")
