Axis does not support checking of xml schema. It has limited checking of WSDL xml schema via the WSDL4J library If an xml schema construct is invalid or not supported, it is usually ignored. In some cases WSDL2Java will throw an exception if illegal constructs are encountered.
Axis does not support validation soap messages against the wsdl/xml schema. If the deserialized java data is not compatable with the expected java types, the service (or client) will throw an exception. Validation of the outgoing/incoming soap messages is not performed because the Axis runtime does not have access to the wsdl/xml schema. Hope this helps.

If so, how? Glyn
