I have heard rumblings of new schema functionality. What exactly is this new functionality? Where can I go to read about it? I am looking to validate a SOAPEnvelope I build up. Is this something I can do with this new functionality? Is this something I can do anyway. I got stuck trying to do this because I could not figure out how to read the schema from within the WSDL. I know Xerces validates schema, but how do you validate against schema located in a WSDL? Is this new functionality going to replace the symbol table functionality currently available? What features will this provide beyond the symbol table? Is there going to be a better api? SchemaUtils provides some useful methods, but seems to be incomplete. When a type is defined, I want to be able to access its extension if it does extend something. Is the symbol table the best way to access type information defined in the schema?
Any information about the present and future of schema (especially validation and meta-data) would be very useful. Thanks, Chris
