How to Use Semantic Validation

You can specify Schematron files for validating an inbound message and its various parts. Schematron version 1.5 is the supported version.

Perform the following steps for specifying a Schematron schema to validate an inbound message and its various parts.

To use semantic validation:

To the right of the Validate Semantic field, click the Select Validation File icon.

The Validations dialog is displayed.
Click Add.

The Add Validation dialog is displayed.
From the Part list, select a message part.
To the right of the File field, click Search.

The SOA Resource Browser dialog is displayed.
Select a Schematron file and click OK.
Note:
- Schematron files usually have a .sch extension.
- No error message or warning is displayed if the selected Schematron file is empty.
The Add Validation dialog is updated, as shown in Figure 20-35.

Note:

In semantic validation, if you check for the length of each element name, then the element name may change for a different set of inputs. This happens when there are white spaces between nodes because the parser treats the white spaces as test nodes.
