Introduction

This page describes the XML schemas used to validate the XML descriptors of Bean Validation.

XML Namespaces

As of Bean Validation 2.0, the XML namespaces of the descriptors are:

http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/validation/configuration for META-INF/validation.xml
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/validation/mapping for constraint mapping XML files

For Bean Validation 1.x the XML namespaces are:

http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration for META-INF/validation.xml
http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping for constraint mapping XML files

Using the Bean Validation XML Schemas

XML descriptors for Bean Validation 1.1 and later must specify the used schema version using the version attribute in the root element, e.g. like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<validation-config
        xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/validation/configuration"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/validation/configuration validation-configuration-2.0.xsd"
        version="2.0">

        [...]

</validation-config>

This allows XML descriptor processors to use the version information to choose the appropriate version of the schema document(s) to process XML descriptor instances.
