Can schema validation detect more than one error?

[easternwahoo]

In CXF 2.2.4, can "schema validation" validate for more than one error, and return a list of validation errors in its soap fault?  It seems like it fails after the first error.

The underlying schema validation technology, AFAIK, can't do what you want.

Well, with JAXB, you MIGHT be able to do this.   I'm not really sure.   The
JAXBDataBinding allows a ValidationEventHandler to be registered.     You MAY
be able to have the ValidationEventHandler store the problematic validation
events in a ThreadLocal or something and then have an interceptor that runs
later to check the ThreadLocal to see if there are events there and throw an
exception at that point.

Honestly, I'm not sure if that would work.   I really don't know if JAXB
catches the exceptions from the underlying schema validator and forwards them
in properly or if they are just bubbled up.   I've never really looked.

In JAXB, you can use the ValidationEventHandler to store up a set of errors. The the ValidationEventCollector provides an easier way to do this.

Cool.   That's good to know.   :-)    Thanks!
