13.3.9. Validating XsltActions

There are several different ways to configure the XsltAction validation. These are listed here with examples:
  1. Disabled (the default)
    This can be explicitly configured to false or omitted to disable validation.
    <property name="validation" value="false"/>
  2. DTD
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    <property name="schemaLanguage" value="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml"/>
    Alernatively:
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    <property name="schemaLanguage" value=""/>
  3. W3C XML Schema or RELAX NG
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    Alternatively:
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    <property name="schemaLanguage" value="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
    or
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    <property name="schemaLanguage" value="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"/>
  4. W3C XML Schema or RELAX NG with included schemaFile
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    <property name="schemaFile" value="/example.xsd"/>
    or
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    <property name="schemaLanguage" value="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
    <property name="schemaFile" value="/example.xsd"/>
    Aleternatively:
    <property name="validation" value="true"/>
    <property name="schemaLanguage" value="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"/>
    <property name="schemaFile" value="/example.rng"/>
Depending on whether or not validation is enabled there are several different outcomes to an XsltAction:
  1. If the XML is well-formed and valid:
    • The transformation will be performed.
    • The pipeline will continue.
  2. If the XML is malformed:
    • an error will be logged
    • SAXParseException -> ActionProcessingException
    • pipeline stops
  3. If the XML is well-formed but invalid:
    • If validation is not enabled:
      • The transformation may fail.
      • The pipeline will continue.
    • If validation is enabled:
      • an error will be logged
      • SAXParseException -> ActionProcessingException
      • pipeline stops
