| I just started working on a project that uses JMS/WebSphere MQ with non-J2EE systems to build an enterprise system. We would be using XML for all the request/response message flows that take place between two system (for example, a JMS Listener and one or more than one queues. I was posed with the following scenario: Our Listener Module submits document requests in XML formatted data into an input message queue monitored by a document generaton engine. The need for validating the XML naturally arises. Should the XML be validated against an XML schema. The question they raised was: If so, why should we use XML schema to validate XML? So this is the question I am trying to answer for myself and for my team here. Any suggestions, ideas are gratefully accepted. thanks ilango |
