Hi,

I did some initial work for the schema validation be supported by JAXB-based providers. It should be available in the coming 2.1.3 release. The good schema validation support can be quite involved - all the helper classes are available inside CXF so we'll get there eventually with JAX-RS too.

So this is how you would be able to do it :

<jaxrs:server>
   <!-- this is identical on how you can do it with jax-ws if no schemas are 
available from wsdl -->
  <jaxrs:schemaLocations>
      <jaxrs:schemaLocation>classpath:/foo.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
      <jaxrs:schemaLocation>../foo2.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
  </jaxrs:schemaLocations>
</jaxrs:server>

Any MessageBodyReader which has setSchemas() method will be provided with this info 
(List<String>).
Default JAXB provider does it. As such you can also configure the same at the 
provider level :

<bean id="jaxbProvider" 
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.JAXBElementProvider">

<property name="schemas">

<list>

<value>classpath:/foo.xsd</value>

</list>

</property>

</bean>

But configuring it at the jaxrs:server level can be handly if you say have 
XMLBeans validation as well (if such one exists :-))...

The reason setSchemas will be called on provider (as opposed to setSchemaLocations) is that JAXBElementProvider also supports jaxb.schemaLocation property which is less shareable as schemas and it's to do with supporting xsi:schemaLocation on the XML instances...So we have setSchemaLocation on the JAXBElementProvider alongside with setSchemas which is to do with the validation...

I haven't checked if imports can be done properly.

Perhaps

<jaxrs:server>
   <!-- this is identical on how you can do it with jax-ws if no schemas are 
available from wsdl -->
  <jaxrs:schemaLocations>
      <jaxrs:schemaLocation>../foo.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
      <jaxrs:schemaLocation>../importedByfoo.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
  </jaxrs:schemaLocations>
</jaxrs:server>

will do it...


Cheers, Sergey



Hi all,

I develop a RESTful Web Service following the tutorial on CXF Website 
(http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/jax-rs-jsr-311.html).

To marshall/unmarshall the request and response, I use JAXB.

The request is defined as follows:
@XmlRootElement(name="orderRequest")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class OrderRequest {
   private AuthorizationRequest authorizationRequest;
   @XmlElement(required=true, nillable=false)
   private URI confirmationURL;
   private PurchaseRequest purchaseRequest;
   //getters and setters
   ...
}

The code for the RESTful Web Service is given below:
@Path("/ideal/")
public class IdealPaymentService {
   @POST
   @Path("/submitOrder/")
   public Response submitOrder(OrderRequest orderRequest) throws 
URISyntaxException {
       System.out.println("----invoking submitOrder" + orderRequest.toString());
       return Response.ok("http://www.google.com";).build();
   }
}

The service is published by JAXRSServerFactoryBean in the Spring context:
 ...
 <!-- Initialize JAXRSServer -->
 <jaxrs:server id="restServices" address="/payment">
   <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
     <ref bean="idealPaymentService" />
   </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
 </jaxrs:server>

 <bean id="idealPaymentService" 
class="com.lycoseurope.cbp.ideal.restful.service.IdealPaymentService" />
 ...

After the deployment, the service works perfectly, but the request is not correctly validated. I sent a request with a missing confirmationURL, but I got no error message even though the confirmationURL has been specified as a mandatory XML element, which is not nullable.

On publishing a web service using JAX-WS, we could set the option "schema-validation-enabled" to true in the spring context to turn on the input validation. Is there a similar property in JAX-RS to enable input validation?

Thank you very much in advance.
