Sample of XMLValidation Activity

This sample highlights the use of XMLValidation activity. The XML file is validated against schema. The file is valid only if the XML file is an instance of XML schema. Otherwise, the activity throws an error with the details of validation error. The file names used in this sample are specified in module property.

Before you begin
  1. Import the schema file to the schemas folder. To do this, right-click on schemas > import > file system > browse to the data folder and select $TIBCO_HOME/bw/palettes/lx/<version>/samples/LargeXML/data/input/BW_shipping_costs.xsd.
  2. Set the XSD in the Schema field of the General tab.
  3. Before executing the project, set the module property LargeXML_Root to the location of the plug-in samples folder. For example, if the plug-in samples are available in $TIBCO_HOME/bw/palettes/lx/<version>/samples, set LargeXML_Root to $TIBCO_HOME/bw/palettes/lx/<version>/samples. The rest of the input and output paths are configured using this module property.
