Validate XML against WSDL for outbound SOAP request

[Community Alums]

I have a requirement to validate XML request payload against the WSDL before sending Outbound SOAP request. e.g. checking mandatory attributes, attribute length, minimum/maximum occurrence, etc.

The XML validation against WSDL is available in SOAP UI tool but I was looking for a similar solution within ServiceNow.

Below is a sample screenshot from SOAP UI highlighting the type of validation I am looking for.

Is there a way in ServiceNow to perform such validation before triggering Outbound SOAP call?

Unfortunately, I'm afraid there is no functionality built into the platform that would allow you to dynamically validate your XML payload agains the WSDL before you trigger a SOAP call. That has always been a manual part of the development process; ensuring that you have appropriate values defined in your parameters before executing the call. 

Sorry that I don't have better news to share! 

I hope this helps!
