Validation in pipeline -

It is worth noting the difference between validation behavior of XML Disassembler & XML Validator component.
One more finding - we can specify multiple schemas in property DocumentSchema. They will have fully qualified name, separated by '|' . e.g.
RnD.Schemas.Request,RnD.Schemas, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=df56015ea0377400 | RnD.Schemas.Error,RnD.Schemas, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=df56015ea0377400

| XML Disassembler | XML Validator |
|---|---|
| Validates document structure only |
Validates both structure and defined restrictions |
| Validates against configured document schema only. If the input message has another TargetNamespace#RootNodeName combination, an exception will be thrown (can’t recognize the data) |
Validates against schema configured. If the input message has another TargetNamespace#RootNodeName combination, no XML validation will be performed. |
| If document schema is not configured, error received - "Validation can only be performed when document schemas are provided." |
If document schema is not configured, it retrieves the XML definition from the BizTalkMgmtDb, at run-time, using the TargetNamespace#RootNodeName combination. And validates against the same. If no relevant schema found for input message validation, error received - "The XML Validator cannot retrieve the document specification using the type 'XXX' " |
| If document schema is configured improperly(or fully qualified schema name not configured), error received - "No Disassemble stage components can recognize the data." | If document schema is configured improperly(or fully qualified schema name not configured) "The document specification <TestSchemaWrongName> from assembly <Schemas, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=df56015ea0377400> failed to load. Verify the schema for this document specification is deployed and is in the Global Assembly Cache." |
| If validation fails, error received - "Validation failed." | If validation fails, error received - The 'http://TestDocumentSchema:InvalidFieldName' element has an invalid value according to its data type. |
