SOAP Validation

When to use

Use this policy when you want to validate SOAP message against a WSDL

Details

SOAP messages are validated against a WSDL by a server that implements SOAP services. WSDL (Web Services Definition Language) defines the structure of the SOAP message. Usually applications throw an error if the SOAP message is not valid for the WSDL. 

You can use “SOAP Validation” policy when you want to validate the SOAP message before sending it to another service or before processing it.
