WS - SOAP Response Validation
SOAP Response – validation against XML schema
1. SOAP Response should be:
<bookstore>
<book>
<title>Harry Potter</title>
<author>J K. Rowling</author>
<year>2005</year>
<price>29.99</price>
</book>
<book>
<title>Learning XML</title>
<author>Erik T. Ray</author>
<year>2003</year>
<price>39.95</price>
</book>
</bookstore>
- Here is one similar XML with namespaces:
<m:bookstore xmlns:m="http://www.webservice.pull_fileOut">
<m:book>
<m:title>Harry Potter</m:title>
<m:author>J K. Rowling</m:author>
<m:year>2005</m:year>
<m:price>29.99</m:price>
</m:book>
<m:book>
<m:title>Learning XML</m:title>
<m:author>Erik T. Ray</m:author>
<m:year>2003</m:year>
<m:price>39.95</m:price>
</m:book>
</m:bookstore>
2. XML Schema that describes this response is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:m="http://www.webservice.pull_fileOut" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://www.webservice.pull_fileOut" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="bookstore">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="m:book" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="book">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="m:title"/>
<xs:element ref="m:author"/>
<xs:element ref="m:year"/>
<xs:element ref="m:price"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="title">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="author">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="year">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="price">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
3. Namespace added in namespace.properties file
m = http://www.webservice.pull_fileOut
4. Process Data with response prepared for returning back to client:
.....
.....
<WebservicesResponseNode>
<m:bookstore xmlns:m="http://www.webservice.pull_fileOut">
<m:book>
<m:title>Harry Potter</m:title>
<m:author>J K. Rowling</m:author>
<m:year>2005</m:year>
<m:price>29.99</m:price>
</m:book>
<m:book>
<m:title>Learning XML</m:title>
<m:author>Erik T. Ray</m:author>
<m:year>2003</m:year>
<m:price>39.95</m:price>
</m:book>
</m:bookstore>
</WebservicesResponseNode>
</ProcessData>
5. SOAP Response
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<m:bookstore xmlns:m="http://www.webservice.pull_fileOut">
<m:book>
<m:title>Harry Potter</m:title>
<m:author>J K. Rowling</m:author>
<m:year>2005</m:year>
<m:price>29.99</m:price>
</m:book>
<m:book>
<m:title>Learning XML</m:title>
<m:author>Erik T. Ray</m:author>
<m:year>2003</m:year>
<m:price>39.95</m:price>
</m:book>
</m:bookstore>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
