Validation Component
The Validation component performs XML validation of the message body using the JAXP Validation API and based on any of the supported XML schema languages, which defaults to XML Schema
Note that the Jing component also supports the following useful schema languages:
The MSV component also supports RelaxNG XML Syntax.
URI format
validator:someLocalOrRemoteResource
Where someLocalOrRemoteResource is some URL to a local resource on the classpath or a full URL to a remote resource or resource on the file system which contains the XSD to validate against. For example:
msv:org/foo/bar.xsd
msv:file:../foo/bar.xsd
msv:http://acme.com/cheese.xsd
validator:com/mypackage/myschema.xsd
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component when using Camel 2.8 or older:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-spring</artifactId> <version>x.x.x</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version --> </dependency>
From Camel 2.9 onwards the Validation component is provided directly in the camel-core.
