Schema for SOAP 1.1

This schema has (most of) the MUST conditions required of a SOAP document. v.0.3 2000-10-21 Rick Jelliffe, Francis Norton

Pattern

Rule elementDefinition
`/*`
	Assert topElement
	`/soap-env:Envelope`	The Envelope is the top element of the XML document representing the message.
	Assert occurrence
	`//soap-env:Envelope`	The element MUST be present in a SOAP message
	Report contents
	`string-length(namespace::*) = 0`	The `<name path=""/>` element MAY contain additional sub elements. If present these elements MUST be namespace-qualified.
Rule elementDefinition
`soap-env:Header`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Envelope and (count(preceding-sibling::*) = 0)`	The `<name path=""/>` element MAY be present in a SOAP message. If present, the element MUST be the first immediate child element of a SOAP Envelope element.
	Report contents
	`string-length(namespace::*) = 0`	All immediate child elements of the SOAP Header element MUST be namespace-qualified.
Rule elementDefinition
`soap-env:Body`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Envelope and (count(preceding-sibling::) = 0 or (count(preceding-sibling::) =1 and preceding-sibling::soap-env:Header))`	The `<name path=""/>` element MUST be present in a SOAP message and MUST be an immediate child element of a SOAP Envelope element. It MUST directly follow the SOAP Header element if present. Otherwise it MUST be the first immediate child element of the SOAP Envelope element.
	Assert contents
	`count(soap-env:Body) < 2`	The SOAP Fault element MUST NOT appear more than once within a Body element.
Rule elementDefinition
`soap-env:Fault`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Body`	The SOAP Fault element MUST appear as a body entry.
	Assert contents
	`parent::soap-env:faultcode`	The faultcode MUST be present in a SOAP Fault element
	Assert contents
	`parent::soap-env:faultstring`	The faultstring MUST be present in a SOAP Fault element
	Report contents
	`string-length(namespace::*) = 0`	The `<name path=""/>` element MAY contain additional sub elements. If present these elements MUST be namespace-qualified.
	Assert contents
	`(../../soap-env:Header/*[@actor]) and faultfactor`	Applications that do not act as the ultimate destination of the SOAP message MUST include the faultactor element in a SOAP Fault element. (Omitting the SOAP actor attribute indicates that the recipient is the ultimate destination of the SOAP message.)
Rule elementDefinition
`faultcode`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Fault`	The faultcode element is intended for use by software to provide an algorithmic mechanism for identifying the fault. The faultcode MUST be present in a SOAP Fault element
	Assert contents
	`string-length(.) > 0`	The faultcode value MUST be a qualified name.
Rule elementDefinition
`faultstring`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Fault`	The faultstring element is intended to provide a human readable explanation of the fault and is not intended for algorithmic processing. The faultstring MUST be present in a SOAP Fault element
	Assert contents
	`string-length(.) > 0`	The faultstring SHOULD provide some information explaining the nature of the fault.
Rule elementDefinition
`faultfactor`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Fault`	The faultactor element is intended to provide information about who caused the fault to happen within the message path. The faultfactor MAY be present in a SOAP Fault element
	Assert contents
	`string-length(.) > 0`	The value of the faultfactor attribute is a URI identifying the source.
Rule elementDefinition
`detail`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Fault`	The detail element is intended for carrying application specific error information related to the Body element. The detail MAY be present in a SOAP Fault element
	Report contents
	`string-length(namespace::*) = 0`	The `<name path=""/>` element MAY contain additional sub elements. If present these elements MUST be namespace-qualified.

Rule attributeDefinition
`*[@soap-env:mustUnderstand]`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Header`	The recipient of a SOAP message MUST ignore all mustUnderstand attributes that are not applied to an immediate child element of the SOAP Header element.
	Assert contents
	`( @soap-env:mustUnderstand = 1) or (@soap-env:mustUnderstand = 0)`	The value of the mustUnderstand attribute is either "1" or "0"

Rule attributeDefinition
`*[@soap-env:actor]`
	Assert occurrence
	`parent::soap-env:Header`	The recipient of a SOAP message MUST ignore all actor attributes that are not applied to an immediate child element of the SOAP Header element.
