SAML getUnmarshaller(element) returns null

I am trying to construct XML object from XmlString but getUnmarshaller(element) is returning null :

This is the code : 

     try {
        InitializationService.initialize();
        DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder docBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document document = docBuilder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.trim().getBytes()));
        Element element = document.getDocumentElement();
        UnmarshallerFactory unmarshallerFactory = XMLObjectProviderRegistrySupport.getUnmarshallerFactory();
        org.opensaml.core.xml.io.Unmarshaller unmarshaller = unmarshallerFactory
              .getUnmarshaller(element); //This is coming out be null
        System.out.println(unmarshaller);
     } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }

This is the XMLString

static String xmlString ="<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" +
          "  <!DOCTYPE address" +
          "  [" +
          "     <!ELEMENT address (buildingnumber, street, city, state, zip)>" +
          "     <!ATTLIST address xmlns CDATA #IMPLIED>" +
          "     <!ELEMENT buildingnumber (#PCDATA)>" +
          "     <!ELEMENT street (#PCDATA)>" +
          "     <!ELEMENT city (#PCDATA)>" +
          "     <!ELEMENT state (#PCDATA)>" +
          "     <!ELEMENT zip (#PCDATA)>" +
          "  ]>" +
          "" +
          "  <address>" +
          "    <buildingnumber> 29 </buildingnumber>" +
          "    <street> South Street</street>" +
          "    <city>Vancouver</city>" +
          "" +
          "    <state>BC</state>" +
          "    <zip>V6V 4U7</zip>" +
          "  </address>";

Any help would be appreciated.

Most probably there's an issue with the initialization process of OpenSAML3. My guess is that unmarshallerFactory is null. First check if you have the below dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.opensaml</groupId>
    <artifactId>opensaml-saml-impl</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.x</version>
</dependency>

If it is there then try to initialize the OpenSAML library manually, just like https://github.com/wso2-extensions/carbon-identity-saml-common/blob/931e6164ee64350b15c6aa6ae080a0c5fb280828/components/org.wso2.carbon.identity.saml.common.util/src/main/java/org/wso2/carbon/identity/saml/common/util/SAMLInitializer.java#L41-L85 and then you'll get the correct unmarshaller.

I don't know if it's still needed but

DefaultBootstrap.bootstrap();

at the beginning resolved the problem for me.
