Validation Types

The BPEL Designer provides two types of validation:

Real-time validation

This type of validation is invoked automatically and does not require any explicit actions from the user. Only the current file is checked. The validation is performed in accordance with all the criteria mentioned above, except for validation for conformance with the BPEL 2.0 schema.

Explicit validation

This type of validation requires that the user explicitly invoke the validation process. All imported XSD and WSDL files are also checked. The validation is performed in accordance with all the criteria mentioned above.

To invoke explicit validation, do one of the following:

• In the Source view, right-click the source to invoke the pop-up menu and choose Validate XML (Alt-Shift-F9)

• In the Design view, click the Validate XML button (Alt-Shift-F9) on the Editor toolbar.
