Hi,

Wouldn't it be better if we could set schemas on the service class itself by 
using an annotation like below?

@Schemas=(locations={"classpath:/foo.xsd", "foo2.xsd"})
public class DummyService {
   ...
}


Regards,
Ferry

Subject: Re: Input validation for RESTful Service

Hi,

I did some initial work for the schema validation be supported by JAXB-based 
providers. It should be available in the coming 2.1.3 
release. The good schema validation support can be quite involved - all the 
helper classes are available inside CXF so we'll get 
there eventually with JAX-RS too.

So this is how you would be able to do it :

<jaxrs:server>
    <!-- this is identical on how you can do it with jax-ws if no schemas are 
available from wsdl -->
   <jaxrs:schemaLocations>
       <jaxrs:schemaLocation>classpath:/foo.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
       <jaxrs:schemaLocation>../foo2.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
   </jaxrs:schemaLocations>
</jaxrs:server>

Any MessageBodyReader which has setSchemas() method will be provided with this 
info (List<String>).
Default JAXB provider does it. As such you can also configure the same at the 
provider level :

<bean id="jaxbProvider" 
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.JAXBElementProvider">

<property name="schemas">

<list>

<value>classpath:/foo.xsd</value>

</list>

</property>

</bean>

But configuring it at the jaxrs:server level can be handly if you say have 
XMLBeans validation as well (if such one exists :-))...

The reason setSchemas will be called on provider (as opposed to 
setSchemaLocations) is that JAXBElementProvider also supports 
jaxb.schemaLocation property which is less shareable as schemas and it's to do 
with supporting xsi:schemaLocation on the XML 
instances...So we have setSchemaLocation on the JAXBElementProvider  alongside 
with setSchemas which is to do with the validation...

I haven't checked if imports can be done properly.

Perhaps

<jaxrs:server>
    <!-- this is identical on how you can do it with jax-ws if no schemas are 
available from wsdl -->
   <jaxrs:schemaLocations>
       <jaxrs:schemaLocation>../foo.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
       <jaxrs:schemaLocation>../importedByfoo.xsd</jaxrs:schemaLocation>
   </jaxrs:schemaLocations>
</jaxrs:server>

will do it...


Cheers, Sergey
