Fault handling for import and export bindings
You can configure your import and export bindings to handle faults (for example, business exceptions) that occur during processing by specifying fault data handlers. You can set up a fault data handler at three levels...
- Associate a fault data handler with a fault
- Associate a fault data handler with an operation
- Associate a fault data handler for all operations with a binding
A fault data handler processes fault data and transforms it into the correct format to be sent by the export or import binding.
- For an export binding, the fault data handler transforms the exception business object sent from the component to a response message that can be used by the client application.
- For an import binding, the fault data handler transforms the fault data or response message sent from a service into an exception business object that can be used by the SCA component.
For import bindings, the binding calls the fault selector, which determines whether the response message is a normal response, a business fault, or a runtime exception.
You can specify a fault data handler for a particular fault, for an operation, and for all operations with a binding.
- If the fault data handler is set at all three levels, the data handler associated with a particular fault is called.
- If fault data handlers are set at the operation and binding levels, the data handler associated with the operation is called.
Two editors are used in IBM Integration Designer to specify fault handling. The interface editor is used to indicate whether there will be a fault on an operation. After a binding is generated with this interface, the editor in the properties view lets you configure how the fault will be handled. See the "Fault selectors" topic in the IBM Integration Designer information center.
