Improve Validation for Components in side of a Chain [INT-2760]

[spring-operator]

Gunnar Hillert opened INT-2760 and commented

We need to revisit the validation of Components within Chains for 3.0 and handle it more comprehensively. Presently, we have the following areas where we do/could do validations:

• Chain Parser
• MessageHandlerChain
• AbstractConsumerEndpointParser (ACEP) and AbstractChannelAdapterParser (ACAP)
• XSD Schema (primarily for SI Core components only

Technically, I don't like the validation in the "Chain Parser" as it is too fuzzy and we probably should do all validations in the MessageHandlerChain and ACEP/ACAP.

With a move to Annotation and Java/Kotlin DSL configuration style, the complex XML parsing logic doesn't worth the effort.
