XML XSD Validation and Routing in Mule

Question

I am new to Mule but have used other products regarding integration.

After receiveing an XML from an file inbound endpoint I want to validate it against an XSD. If validation fails I want to send it to a JMS/VM queue otherwise just proceed with my other already working flow.

I have been able to use a filter and it works as expected. Those not compliant get thrown out in cyberspace. But I want to handle these and return a response.

So what other approach can I go with?

Is there a XML/XSD Router with validation I can use?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can use include the xsd filter into a message filter, as explained in this blog post. In this way you will be able to take some other action when the message is filtered.

The simplest solution I can think of would be to throw an exception and to generate the response from a catch-exception-strategy
