How to validate that XML is well-formed?

Question

I have an "Any XML Service" on Oracle Service Bus (version 11.1.1.4) that I would like to have validate that the input is well-formed XML. There is no DTD or XSchema to apply -- it can be any generic well-formed XML. I didn't see a way to do it with a Validate Action. Is a Java Callout my only option?
Thanks,
Doug Newton

That's interesting...
Try creating a xquery expression using fn-bea:inlinedXML(), it doesn't require XSD
The fn-bea:inlinedXML() function parses textual XML and returns an instance of the XQuery 1.0 Data Model.
The function has the following signature:
fn-bea:inlinedXML($text as xs:string) as node()*
where $text is the textual XML to parse.
Examples:
fn-bea:inlinedXML(“<e>text</e>”) returns element “e”.
fn-bea:inlinedXML(“<?xml version=”1.0”><e>text</e>”) returns a document with root element “e”.
