Add input schema validation before invoking a SoapProxy action

[crizom85]

I want to make a simple web service proxy on ESB like this:

<service category="Esb" description="test esb ws" invmScope="GLOBAL" name="TestEsbWS">

   <listeners>

         <http-gateway name="TestHttpGateway"/>

   </listeners>

   <actions mep="RequestResponse">        

                    <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.soap.proxy.SOAPProxy" name="TestSoapProxy">

                          <property name="wsdl" value="http://host123:8088/testService?WSDL"/>

          </action>  

   </actions>

</service>

and that works fine.

Now, how to add schema validation on the body message passed in input to this ESB web service ?

I tried with the action SchemaValidation, but it try to validate also the soap envelope, which i dont want.

I tried adding inXsd, outXsd and validate=true to the "actions" tag, and it always say validation failed, with the full soap message without additional details. (Im 100%sure the message is valid)

My idea is to add schema validation and other logging actions before calling the "testService" external service.

What the correct way to do the schema validation on the body message? It should be a basic thing for an ESB. I always used jax-ws and also Oracle Service Bus in past.

Thank you very much for any hint

No idea? is that so hard in Jboss ESB?

I'd take a look at the publish_as_webservice example.       It's close to what you want, and you should be able to substitute in your xsd files and test with SOAPUI.

In the publish_as_webservice example, it doesn't call an external system

I want call an external web service using the ESB action SoapProxy (without write additional java code), buf before calling this external web service I want to enable XSD schema validation on the input payload to the ESB service im writing. If i put the inXsd and outXsd on the "actions" tag, it expose a new web service based on those xsds i believe

Hi crizom85,

I extended the  out of box schemavalidation class   and  enhanced it to accept the input  request  both  with soap envelope and without ( for proxies on ebws you dont get soap tags) by adding a  boolean property  issoap.  If the soap envelope tag  exists   extracted  the body content and validated  against the schema.   The challenge here is   namespaces you need to   extract the namespaces from the  envelope tag   and   add those namespaces to the extracted body  otherwise  validation will fail.   You  also need to further customize to support  schema  with multiple includes

Have you tried  only validate=true  and not providing inxsd and outxsd ?

1) I dont want to extend classes...if I have to write custom code, then what is the purpose to use an ESB product? I will prefer write my custom java web services than extend class on jboss esb only to performs basic things

2) I don't "try" to do things...I follow the documentation..

3) I solved by using the action soapclient without schema validation, since the schema validation doesn't work as expected
