This table lists the validators that are available for the different project types and gives a brief description of each validator.
Validator name | Description |
---|---|
Application Client Validator | The Application Client Validator validates
the following Application Client project resources:
|
DTD Validator | The DTD validator determines whether the current state of a DTD is semantically valid. XML files are validated according to the the XML specification Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 from the W3C Web site. As well, the DTD validator checks for errors such as references to entities and elements that do not exist. |
EAR Validator | The EAR Validator validates the following:
Note that the EAR Validator only ensures the validity and dependency of the module projects with respect to the enterprise application project. |
EJB Validator | The EJB Validator verifies that enterprise
beans contained in an EJB project comply with the Sun Enterprise JavaBeans™ Specifications
(1.1, 2.0, and 2.1), depending on the level of the bean. Code validation for
the EJB 1.0 specification is not supported. Specifically, the EJB Validator validates the following resources:
This validator is only available in versions of the workbench that support EJB development. |
Connector Validator | The Connector validator checks for invalid J2EE specification levels in connector projects. |
EJB XML Validator | The EJB XML validator is a specialized form of the XML validator. It checks for well-formed and valid XML. The EJB XML differs from the XML validator in its treatment of the ejb-jar.xml file. During development, the EJB XML Validator validates ejb-jar.xml only if at least one bean exists; before deployment ejb-jar.xml is always validated. |
HTML Syntax Validator | The HTML Syntax Validator validates HTML
basic syntax and HTML DTD compliance in the following Web project resources:
|
JSP Validator | The JSP Validator validates JSP files in a project by translating them into the corresponding Java code and then checking the Java code for compile errors. |
JSR-109 Web Services Validator | The JSR-109 validator examines Web services deployment
descriptors in J2EE modules and measures their compliance to major rules of
the JSR-109 v1.0 specification. The validator examines:
|
Map Validator | Validates any EJB to RDB maps that are contained
in an EJB project. This validator is not available in WebSphere Studio Site Developer. |
Static Web and Publishing Servers Configuration Validator | The Static Web and Publishing Servers Configuration
Validator verifies that:
|
Struts Configuration File Validator | The Struts Configuration File Validator validates configured
Struts configuration files according to the description provided by the struts-config.dtd
file. This validator catches additional semantic errors that a staight XML
validation against the DTD cannot catch, for example:
|
WAR Validator | The WAR Validator validates the following
web project resources:
|
WebSphere Server Configuration Validator | The WebSphere Server Configuration Validator validates
server configuration files that are contained in a server project by:
|
WSDL Validator | The WSDL validator checks the following in WSDL files:
This validator is not available in WebSphere Studio Site Developer. |
WS-I Message Validator | WS-I Message validator checks SOAP messages against WS-I Profiles. A user can capture and verify SOAP messages using the TCP/IP Monitor. The validator checks a message log that is saved as a project resource (.wsimsg). The log conforms to a format as specified by WS-I. |
XML Schema Validator | The XML schema validator determines whether the current state of an XML schema file is semantically valid. XML schemas are validated according to the XML Schema specification XML Schema Part 1: Structures from the W3C Web site. |
XML Validator | The XML validator ensures that an XML file is well-formed. It also verifies if an XML file is valid - that is, it follows the constraints established in the DTD or XML schema the XML file is associated with. |
XSL Validator | The XSL validator ensures that the XSL file is well-formed. It tries to detect any static errors, that is, an error that can be detected in a style sheet before execution starts. |
