Hi there Before putting up my question let me just set up the scenario for you.
My service contains a series of *javax.xml.ws.handler.Handler*s that do a bunch of validations/rule check in my request's custom SOAP header element, let's call it /RequestHeader/. I've turned on CXF's automatic schema validation and it works on the body. It has come to my attention that CXF schema validation (JAXB) only runs after the inbound message traverses all handlers defined in the handler chain (I think both unmarshalling/marshalling and validation happen around the same time). Also, as I stated before, only the body is validated, and not the /RequestHeader/, although I have specified it in the XSD (and also as a message and binding operations's header inside my WSDL). Q: Is there any way to apply the Schema validation before any handler is traversed and also to validate the SOAP header? I would like that restrictions and patterns defined in the XSD could be validated before any computation happens inside my handlers. I realize that JAXB only has to run after the handler chain cause inside of handlers we have access to the marshalled request, but this could be a nice feature, otherwise I'll have to design a specific handler to validate /RequestHeader/ and add it to my chain and make it the first to run in an inbound message :/ Best regards -- View this message in context: http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/Schema-validation-before-Handlers-tp5732112.html Sent from the cxf-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
