Extending WSDL validation

[robert <ro...@gliesian.com>]

Is it common for project domains to have special rule sets to extend
WSDL validation?

If so how are these rule sets applied, through additional schemas
and/or other means?  

Is there a specific way to have these rule sets applied for usage with
the WSDL Validator tool?

Thanks!

Well, yes and no.   If a bunch of a projects users are hitting a common issue, 
it's normal for the project to add a check or similar to prevent people from 
running into the same issue over and over.    That's pretty much how the 
existing CXF checks have evolved.   People kept feeding CXF "invalid" WSDL and 
then getting  unpredictable results and logging bugs and such.   By 
implementing some checks, we can let the user know up front that these issues 
are known not to work and thus it puts less of a support burden on us.
