Hi Experts

What is SOAP Fault ? Is it there in the wsdl provided by the client ?

It could be provided by client.

In case your client is not giving the definition for fault message, you can use the default XI fault messages. In Pi7.0 they are automatically created when you create a namespace. In 7.1 you need to create them explicitly as new objects.

A SOAP fault is an error in a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) communication resulting from incorrect message format, header-processing problems, or incompatibility between applications.

It is an optional element, so it may be there in the WSDL provided by the client but not always.

e.g <wsdl:fault message="impl:DivByZeroStruct" name="......................

Hi Radhika,

It depends. Some clients have fault messages and some may not. But if you see the wsdl you can say whether it has or not. Else upload it into IR and see the messages you can see whether the Fault message is there or not.
