Question

In soapUI Pro I want to create an assertion to validate specified XML node of response against custom XSD. I know there is schema compliance assertion but I want to validate only part of response and against custom XSD (not from WSDL).

Answer 1

Script assertion is needed to load part of response and validate it against schema loaded from file:

import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
import javax.xml.XMLConstants
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource
import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory

def holder = new XmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContentAsXml )
holder.namespaces["sam"] = "http://www.example.org/sample/"
def node = holder["XPath"]

def factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI)
def schema = factory.newSchema(new StreamSource(new FileReader("path_to_XSD_file")))
def validator = schema.newValidator()
validator.validate(new StreamSource(new StringReader(node)))
