any tools /editor out there to validate WSDL document is valid one?

i heard alot WSDL on the web are out dated / invalid.

xmlspy a good one?

do i need to get xml schema / DTD for WSDL since tools like xmlspy would
need the DTD for validation is that correct?

so that i can genenrate stub client code using automated tools (WSDL2Java
...etc)

Thanks

XML Spy contains WSDL schema editing, so you do not have to find a DTD/Schema
to validate.

You can test a WSDL URL here: http://www.mgateway.com/scripts/mgwms32.dll?MGWLPN=EXTC&wlapp=wsdlValidator&eXtcCalledFrom=MGateway

or here http://www.soapclient.com/soapclient?template=%2Fclientform.html&fn=soapform&SoapTemplate=%2FSoapResult.html&SoapWSDL=http://apps.gotdotnet.com/xws/wsdlverifier/wsdlverify.asmx?WSDL
