Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product is provided for automatic validation of Extensible Markup Language (XML) data through interactive visual mapping, before storing the validated XML data into a target destination. The method allows a user to interact with a graphic user interface (GUI) to obtain mapping of an XML source document or its fragment and the target destination through at least one XML validation schema, and to automatically obtain XML data validations. The GUI is menu-driven and displays the XML data in the native format and a selection of the XML validation schemas. Interactions with the GUI automatically generate an XML validation mapping definition document and a validation code. The target destination can be one or more XML columns, a web service call, a standalone application call, a function'"'"'s or stored procedure'"'"'s input parameter of XML type and it may be located in a heterogeneous RDBMS environment.
