Web service faults

Faults are a way of handling exceptions in web services at run time. A fault that helps a user understand a problem and what he can do about it leads to a quick resolution of the problem.

If you use a Web Service Integration step from the integration service palette to call an outbound web service, your step can catch and handle faults.

To catch and handle faults, attach an error intermediate event to the web service integration. The error intermediate event should be configured with the Catch All Errors option. This option will catch faults which are modeled in the WSDL, as well as other faults such as system or connectivity exceptions. Configure an error intermediate event for a service is described in Handling errors in services.
