SOA fault management framework doesn't work

Question

The following is my fault-policies.xml and fault-binding.xml. Both are located in the same folder as the composite.xml. I simulated a remote fault. The fault was not caught by the framework.
I even re-started both admin server and soa managed server.
I am using SOA 11.1.1.5
1. fault-binding.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.1"
xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance">
<composite faultPolicy="POProcessingFaults"/>
</faultPolicyBindings>
2. fault-policies.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<faultPolicies xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy">
<faultPolicy version="2.0.1"
id="POProcessingFaults"

Please use the below files and let me know...
fault-policies.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicies xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy">
<faultPolicy version="2.0.1" id="bpelFaultHandling"

fault-bindings.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.1"

</faultPolicyBindings>
Write two composites A and B . A is Asynchronous and B is Synchronous. Call B from A, just throw a remotefault from B; put the above two files in composite A in the folder where the composite.xml file resides.And also keep a catchALL block at the BPEL process level for the composite A. So when you execute A, The fault policies will come into play, try the same invoke for five times and rethrow the fault which will be caught by catchALL block in composite A and do something from A, either invoke back the caller or write some error message to the file or email or something else.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
