Oracle Service Bus provides the capability for incoming or OUTGOING messages to be validated against a WSDL or XML schema with a validation action. This action can occur at any time within the message flow and ensures that the incoming or outgoing message is in the format expected by the destination services consumer or provider. Messages that fail validation can log the failure or create an error. In the latter case, an error stage can be used to APPLY alternative actions.

Message validation can be used for service VERSIONING to validate messages against different versions of a schema or WSDL. This is to ensure the message is routed to the PROPER version of the service end point, or to check whether transformation must be applied PRIOR to sending the message.
