Followup... So I've got this working by reading the WSDL myself in the provider class's constructor:
// First read WSDL ClassLoader loader = this.getClass().getClassLoader(); InputStream wsdlFile = loader.getResourceAsStream( WSDL_NAME ); Document wsdl = org.apache.cxf.helpers.DOMUtils.readXml( wsdlFile ); // Then get schema body from WSDL -- TODO tighten up query using namespaces String schemaQuery = "//*[local-name()='definitions']/*[local-name()='types']/*[local-name()='schema']"; XPathExpression schemaPath = xp.compile( schemaQuery ); Node schemaNode = ( Node ) schemaPath.evaluate( wsdl, XPathConstants.NODE ); // Then compile it and store it String language = XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI; SchemaFactory sf = SchemaFactory.newInstance( language ); DOMSource ds = new DOMSource( schemaNode ); this.schema = sf.newSchema( ds ); This lets me easily validate messages in the invoke() method, for example: schema.newValidator().validate( domRequest ); where domRequest is the DOMSource of the message payload. However it still seems a little inelegant to read the WSDL myself when CXF must have a copy. I've found the getSchema() method of the EndpointReferenceUtils class via an old thread on here, but that requires a ServiceInfo object -- is there any way to acquire one of these for a Provider service?
