Header-based fault selector
A header-based fault selector determines whether a response message is a business fault, a runtime exception or a normal message based on the headers in the incoming response message.
This fault selector can be used with JMS, MQ JMS, MQ, generic JMS and HTTP imports.
The section below explains the behavior of the header-based fault selector when default configuration is used.
Business faults
If an application wants to indicate that the incoming message is a business fault, then there must be two headers in the incoming message for business faults, which is shown as follows:
Header name = FaultType, Header value = Business Header name = FaultName, Header value = <user defined native fault name>
Runtime exceptions
If an application wants to indicate that the incoming response message is a runtime exception, then there must be one header in the incoming message, which is shown as follows:
Header name = FaultType, Header value = Runtime
Normal message
If an application wants to indicate that the incoming message is a normal message, then none of these headers should be present in the incoming response message or the header value for FaultType should be something other than "Business" or "Runtime".
