Spring Integration : How to check whether the input xml is well-formed

Question

I am using Spring Integration and was wondering how can I check whether the incoming xml request is well formed or not? I am using with schema , but I don't think it will check for well-formed xml.

Any ideas?

Martin.

Let us know that <int-xml:validating-filter> doesn't fit your requirements:

<int-xml:validating-filter id="filterA" 
                           schema-type="${xmlSchema}"
                           input-channel="inputChannelA"
                           output-channel="validOutputChannel"
                           discard-channel="invalidOutputChannel"
                           schema-location="org/springframework/integration/xml/config/validationTestsSchema.xsd"/>
