In general, preserving the prefixes (and more importantly preserving the
all namespace declarations intact) across round-tripping is not
possible. This is because there's no place to keep those values in the
beans.
You'd most likely need to use well-formed XML API that doesn't lose
those things until you verify the signature. Once that's done and when
it comes time for you to start processing the message, JAXB can work nicely.
