This page propose a simple but efficient way to run XML validation against OGC schemas.

GetCapabilities

KVP Request using GET HTTP Method

(ref A.4.2.1)

• Run various similar basic GetCapabilities requests, run diff then validate them:

curl -O outputGC1.xml <WPSInstance>?request=GetCapabilities&service=WPS

curl -O outputGC2.xml <WPSInstance>?REQUEST=getcapabilities&SERVICE=wps

diff -ru outputGC1.xml outputGC2.xml

xmllint --noout --schema http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsGetCapabilities_response.xsd outputGC1.xml

xmllint --noout --schema http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsGetCapabilities_response.xsd outputGC2.xml

XML Request using HTTP POST Method

(ref A.4.2.2)

• Download then validate the XML GetCapabilities XML request using the following command:

curl -O http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/examples/10_wpsGetCapabilities_request.xml

xmllint --noout --schema http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsGetCapabilities_request.xsd 10_wpsGetCapabilities_request.xml

• Run the XML GetCapabilities XML request for each WPS Server instance:

curl -o outputGCP1.xml -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d @10_wpsGetCapabilities_request.xml http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/examples/10_wpsGetCapabilities_request.xml

xmllint --noout --schema http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsGetCapabilities_response.xsd outputGCP1.xml

DescribeProcess

KVP Request using GET HTTP Method

(ref A.4.3.1)

• Run various basic DescribeProcess KVP requests:

curl -O outputDP1.xml <WPSInstance>?request=DescribeProcess&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=ALL

curl -O outputDP2.xml <WPSInstance>?request=DescribeProcess&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=Buffer

curl -O outputDP3.xml <WPSInstance>?request=DescribeProcess&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=BUFFER

xmllint --noout --schema http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsDescribeProcess_response.xsd outputDP1.xml

xmllint --noout --schema http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsDescribeProcess_response.xsd outputDP2.xml

xmllint --noout --schema http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsDescribeProcess_response.xsd outputDP3.xml

XML Request using HTTP POST Method

• Download then validate the XML GetCapabilities XML request using the following command:

curl -O test_dp1.xml

curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d @test_dp1.xml http://zoo-project.org/wps-foss4g2011/zoo_loader.cgi
