Question

I am having a hard time getting cxf to validate an xml request that my service creates for a 3rd party.

My project uses maven. Here is my project structure

Main Module :

+ Sub-Module1 = Application

+ sub-Module2 = Interfaces

In Interfaces, inside src/main/resources I have my wsdl and xsd.
so, src/main/resources
+ mywsdl.wsdl.
+ myschema.xsd

The interface submodule is listed as a dependency in the Application-sub-module.
inside Application sub-module, there is a cxsf file in src/maim/resources.

<jaxws:client name="{myTargerNameSpaceName}port"
    createdFromAPI="true">
    <jaxws:properties>
        <entry key="schema-validation-enabled" value="true" />
    </jaxws:properties>
</jaxws:client>

AND:.

    <jaxws:endpoint name="{myTargetNameSpaceName}port"
    wsdlLocation="/mywsdl.wsdl"
    createdFromAPI="true">
    <jaxws:properties>
        <entry key="schema-validation-enabled" value="true" />
    </jaxws:properties>
</jaxws:endpoint>

I tried changing the “name=”{myTargetNameSpaceName}port” to “name=”{myEndPointName}port”

But to no anvil.

My application works. But it just do not validate the xml I am producing that has to be consumed by a 3rd party application.
I would like to get the validation working, so that any request that I send would be a valid one.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

First ensure that the value of the name attribute is {NAMESPACE}PORT_NAME where NAMESPACE is your namespace URI and PORT_NAME is the name of your WSDL port. Without seeing your WSDL, I don’t know if you named your WSDL port “port” or if you are just giving a sanitized example.

For example, my WSDL namespace is “http://example.com/services” and the name of my WSDL port element is “myPort”, the Spring configuration would look like this

<jaxws:endpoint name="{http://example.com/services}myPort" >
  ...

See “CreatedFromAPI” attribute description in CXF docs

If that doesn’t solve your problem, try looking at the wsdl_first example code, upgrading your CXF version, and/or posting your question with test code demonstrating your issue to the CXF user list.
