I'm trying to validate an XML document which is being passed to HTTP Request node. I am trying to perform some validation before serializing to the wire. In past versions of WMB you needed to provide a message set to validate against. Thus, resulting in an excessive amount of projects within my workspace simply to do a validation.
In IIB9 is there anyway to validate against an XSD without having to create message set projects? |

Don't use a message set, use a message model

Use the XSD directly

Found a way to do this using your message model approach.
I had the XSD imported previously.
Used a Reset Content Descriptor node and specified the XSD to use. Funny thing is the tool doesn't show the XSD when browsing for a message model.
Thanks! |

Correct - and I can understand why that might be confusing at first.
You probably think that a validating XML parser validates against an XSD. It doesn't, though. It validates against a collection of XSDs, known as a 'schema'. In IIB land we refer to a collection of XSDs as a 'model'.
In WMBv7, you used to put all of the XSDs into a message set. The message set was the 'model'. It was not one XSD - it was potentially many XSDs in a single container.
In WMBv8 and IIBv9 you simply add all of the XSDs to the Application ( either directly or via one or more Libraries ). The product collects them all up into a single model that is used for validatoin. That's why you don't have to specify the model any more.
( ...and in v10 you can have a shared library which is a named model, and you can specify that you want to validate against the XSDs in a specific shared library. Just like specifying a message set in WMBv7 ) |

Yeah that's probably why I was confused, thanks! Funny I took the IIB9 training and none of this was explained. |

Well, there's a reason why MQSeries.net remains popular  |
