Content validation of JSON payloads in REST invokation.

[Pradeep Fernando]

Hi Devs,

I'm using CXF Jax-rs libs. Did some google searching on the $subject and
since im using,

org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.json.JSONProvider, i made use of

org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.schemas.SchemaHandler to validate my input
against my schema.

I get an input similar, to,

{
      "id": "AWSEC2AsiaPacificPartition1",
      "provider": "ec2",
      "property": [
          {
            "name": "region",
            "value": "ap-southeast-1"
          }
      ],
      "partitionMin": "1",
      "partitionMax": "3"
}

I cant figure out how to model property array in xmlSchema without using a
wrapping element. And it gives an error at the moment.

The schema portion i use to validate the property array..

               <xs:element name="property" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
                    <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence>
                            <xs:element name="property" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
                                <xs:complexType>
                                    <xs:sequence>
                                        <xs:element name="name"
minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" nillable="false"/>
                                        <xs:element name="value"
minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" nillable="false"/>
                                    </xs:sequence>
                                </xs:complexType>
                            </xs:element>
                        </xs:sequence>
                    </xs:complexType>
                </xs:element>


Am i doing the correct thing, May be im missing a trivial thing.  Is it
possible at all.

thanks in advance...
