The MSV component performs XML validation of the message body using the MSV Library and any of the supported XML schema languages, such as XML Schema or RelaxNG XML Syntax.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-msv</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

Note that the Jing component also supports RelaxNG Compact Syntax

URI format

msv:someLocalOrRemoteResource[?options]

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. For example

msv:org/foo/bar.rng
msv:file:../foo/bar.rng
msv:http://acme.com/cheese.rng

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&…​

The MSV component supports 12 endpoint options which are listed below:

{% raw %}

NameGroupDefaultJava TypeDescription

resourceUri

producer

 

String

Required URL to a local resource on the classpath or a reference to lookup a bean in the Registry or a full URL to a remote resource or resource on the file system which contains the XSD to validate against.

failOnNullBody

producer

true

boolean

Whether to fail if no body exists.

failOnNullHeader

producer

true

boolean

Whether to fail if no header exists when validating against a header.

headerName

producer

 

String

To validate against a header instead of the message body.

errorHandler

ValidatorErrorHandler

To use a custom org.apache.camel.processor.validation.ValidatorErrorHandler. The default error handler captures the errors and throws an exception.

resourceResolver

advanced

 

LSResourceResolver

To use a custom LSResourceResolver. Do not use together with resourceResolverFactory

resourceResolverFactory

advanced

 

ValidatorResourceResolverFactory

To use a custom LSResourceResolver which depends on a dynamic endpoint resource URI. The default resource resolver factory resturns a resource resolver which can read files from the class path and file system. Do not use together with resourceResolver.

schemaFactory

advanced

 

SchemaFactory

To use a custom javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory

schemaLanguage

advanced

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

String

Configures the W3C XML Schema Namespace URI.

synchronous

advanced

false

boolean

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

useDom

advanced

false

boolean

Whether DOMSource/DOMResult or SaxSource/SaxResult should be used by the validator.

useSharedSchema

advanced

true

boolean

Whether the Schema instance should be shared or not. This option is introduced to work around a JDK 1.6.x bug. Xerces should not have this issue.

{% endraw %}

Example

The following example shows how to configure a route from endpoint direct:start which then goes to one of two endpoints, either mock:valid or mock:invalid based on whether or not the XML matches the given RelaxNG XML Schema (which is supplied on the classpath).
