API to Validate .wsdl files using java

Question

I need to build an utility program that accepts .wsdl file as input. Validates the file and gives output as weather file is valid(in terms of semantics). And if possible i also want to show error's in file (if any).

I know there are utilities available online, but i cannot upload incoming .wsdl files over internet(for security purpose). Hence i wan to do this operation programatically using Java.

Please suggest me if there are any API's available for this in java?

Answer 1

Another way is to use SOAPUI tool API. Refer to below link. Try to import WSDL and catch any exception to know whether WSDL is correct or not.

WsdlInterface iface = WsdlInterfaceFactory.importWsdl( "WSDl_LOCATION", true )[0];
