how to make my controller accept XML body?

hey guys. i have this controller:

GetMapping(value = "/transactions", produces = "application/xml")
    public String getCurrentTransactions() throws JAXBException, IOException {
        return bgwService.getCurrentTransactions();
    }

GetMapping(value = "/transactions", produces = "application/xml")
    public String getCurrentTransactions() throws JAXBException, IOException {
        return bgwService.getCurrentTransactions();
    }
