This is post to answer my own question in case it may help someone else. Basically yo have to use schema validation further up the message pipeline. The following article proved very helpful for understanding the extension points available in Axis2 here
The solution I chose was the created a custom MessageReceiver so I could get access to the MessageContext. Once you have a MessageContext you can follow the schema validation code posted here <http://axis.8716.n7.nabble.com/Axis2-Schema-validation-with-ADB-td36754.html> -- View this message in context: http://axis.8716.n7.nabble.com/Axis2-schema-validation-using-ADB-how-to-report-a-meaningful-error-message-in-Soap-Fault-tp112668p113193.html Sent from the Axis Java - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@axis.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@axis.apache.org
