根据 WSDL 验证 SOAP 消息

Question

Just like validating an XML file against an XML Schema Definition in Java is there a way to validate an XML file that contains a SOAP Envelope against a WSDL file?

Answer 1

Some web service containers provide this functionality. JBoss 3.0.1+ does this with the @SchemaValidation annotation:

Answer 2

If you are using Spring-WS, this can be done by using an interceptor along these lines:

<sws:interceptors>
    <sws:payloadRoot namespaceUri="...">
        <bean id="validatingInterceptor"
            class="org.springframework.ws.soap.server.endpoint.interceptor.PayloadValidatingInterceptor">
            <property name="schema" value="classpath:/wsdl/schema.xsd" />
            <property name="validateRequest" value="true" />
            <property name="validateResponse" value="true" />
        </bean>
    </sws:payloadRoot>
</sws:interceptors>

With CXF, here is an approach:

Answer 3

There is a tool developed by Ivan Krivyakov which validates the req or resp XMLs based on the WSDL and / or XSD provided. The tool is available at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/182406/Validating-SOAP-Message-against-WSDL (requires you to create a login though.)

Answer 4

I don't know simple way. In our project we just copy and paste element from WSDL to XSD file. You can write an util class which will make this work instead of you.
