RE: Groovy XML Validation with multiple imported schemas

Hi Richard,

soapUI itself uses XMLBeans for all its xsd validations, could you use its APIs instead?

Does this code make sense to you guys? It runs without error, but doesn't seem to be validating my response xml correctly. All feedback welcome!

import java.util.ArrayList
import javax.xml.XMLConstants
import javax.xml.transform.Source
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;

def resultXML = context.expand('${#resultsXML}' )
def schemaPath = context.expand ( '${#schemaPath}' )
def schemaFiles = context.expand ( '${#schemaFiles}' )

def schemaSources = new ArrayList()
def st = new StringTokenizer(schemaFiles,';')
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) { schemaSources.add( new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(schemaPath + st.nextToken() ) ) ) }

def schemaFactory = javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
def schema = schemaFactory.newSchema((Source[])schemaSources.toArray());
def validator = schema.newValidator();

def stringReader = new StringReader(resultXML);
def inputSource = new InputSource(stringReader);


// set it so that it is validating and namespace aware
SAXParserFactory parserFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
parserFactory.setValidating( true );
parserFactory.setNamespaceAware( true );
parserFactory.setSchema( schema );

def parseHandler = new org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler();

try {
                log.info "Starting to parse file...";
                def saxReader = parserFactory.newSAXParser();
                saxReader.parse(inputSource, parseHandler);
                log.info "Done parsing file...";
}
catch (Exception e) {
log.info(e);
}

Hi!

hmm.. this looks ok.. have you had a look at the groovy example for this at http://groovy.codehaus.org/Validating+X ... XML+Schema ? maybe that works better?

The issue I'm facing is that our response relies on multiple XSDs for its def. Therefore I need to pull them into some sort of reference array. I've tried several options I've found online but am now blocked. Do you guys have the bandwidth to help out with a sample project using validation with multiple xsds?

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

soapUI does all its XML validation stuff via the XmlBeans library (http://xmlbeans.apache.org/), you should be able to use it also. Have a look at the code example in the class comment for http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.4.0/r ... ystem.html, it seems to do exactly what you need, ie load some XSDs and validate a document with them.

Does this help?
