Binding java class to schema using castor

[Mat Anthony]

Hi All,
I have developed a spring web service that uses castor to bind/unbind the request/response objects.
I currently define an enumeration type within my xsd, that restricts the different sport types that
can be searched for (i.e. not sportSearchRequest element sport).
I would like to bind sportCodeTypeEnum to a java class via the mapping file sport-service-mapping.xml.
This will keep my java code inline with the schema. Is this possible?

sport-service-schema.xsd
================
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://org/ws/schema/sport-service" attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://org/ws/schema/sport-service"> <simpleType name="sportCodeTypeEnum"> <restriction base="string"> <enumeration value="Tennis"></enumeration> <enumeration value="FootBall"></enumeration> <enumeration value="Karate"></enumeration> <enumeration value="Judo"></enumeration> </restriction> </simpleType> <element name="sportSearchRequest"> <complexType> <sequence> <element name="sport" type="tns:sportCodeTypeEnum" /> <element name="pageNumber" type="string" /> <element name="userId" type="string" /> </sequence> </complexType> </element>

sport-service-mapping.xml
<class name="org.SportSearchRequest"> <map-to xml="sportSearchRequest" tns-uri="http://org/ws/schema/sport-service"/> <field name="sport" type="string"> <bind-xml name="sport" node="element"/> </field> <field name="pageNumber" type="string"> <bind-xml name="pageNumber" node="element"/> </field> <field name="userId" type="string"> <bind-xml name="userId" node="element"/> </field> </class>

sport-service-context.xml
<bean id="sport-castorMarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller" p:mappingLocation="/WEB-INF/spring-config/webservices-servlet/sport/sport-service-mapping.xml"> </bean> <bean id="sport-PayloadMethodProcessor" class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adapter.method.MarshallingPayloadMethodProcessor"> <constructor-arg ref="sport-castorMarshaller"/> </bean>

Hi All,
just found some info on PayloadValidatingInterceptor. Would the following be the correct approach to validate
sport-service-schema.xsd?

<sws:interceptors> <bean class="org.springframework.ws.soap.server.endpoint.interceptor.PayloadValidatingInterceptor"> <property name="schemas"> <list> <value>/WEB-INF/spring-config/webservices-servlet/sport/sport-service-schema.xsd</value> </list> </property> <property name="validateRequest" value="true"/> <property name="validateResponse" value="true"/> </bean> </sws:interceptors>
