Application Error :: Exception Handling

Question

Hi
Workflow of my scenario is -->
<b>SAP R/3 -- Sender RFC Adapter -- XI -- Rec. SOAP Adapter -- Web Service</b>
In case we are sending correct information to WebService, we are getting results back to SAP R/3. But in case of an Application Error in  Web Service ( like wrong data value ), it is returning following payload as response -->
<i><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <!--  Call Adapter
  -->
  <ns1:hostname xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">vessptd01</ns1:hostname></i>
So I created the XSD file for this payload & map it with my <i><RFC>.Exception</i> structure, folliwing is my Exception message mapping text preview -->
<i>/ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception/Name=const([value=UNKNOWN ADDRESS]) /ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception/Text=/ns0:hostname= /ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception/Message=const([value=0]) /ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception/Message/ID=const([value=I]) /ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception/Message/Number=const([value=11]) /ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception/Attributes=const([value=1]) /ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception/Attributes/V1=/ns0:hostname=</i>
Now when I executed the scenario, I can see in SXMB_MONI ( with Application Error as status ) that following RFC XML is going to SAP R/3 server -->
<i><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception xmlns:ns1="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
  <Name>UNKNOWN ADDRESS</Name>
  <Text>vessptd01</Text>
- <Message>
  <ID>I</ID>
  <Number>11</Number>
  </Message>
- <Attributes>
  <V1>vessptd01</V1>
  </Attributes>
  </ns1:Z_MAPINFO.Exception></i>
But still SAP R/3 is giving Short DUMP with the message as
           <b>Message type " " is unknown.</b>
although ABAPers are trying to catch exception fields. Also one thing I noticed that when I imported the <RFC>.Exception structure in XI, I see field names like
"<i>Name, Text, Message, ID, Number, Attributes, V1, V2, V3, V4</i> ".
But in SAP R/3 RFC when ABAPers define Exception for RFC, they see following fields -->
<i>MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
           WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.</i>
Now I am not sure what is going wrong. Can you pls. suggest.

Our scenario is actually getting the Latitude & Longitude of given location from Web-Service, so when the address details are correct. SAP R/3 is getting populated with correct response i.e Latitude & Longitude.
But in case when User is entering Wrong Address ( which does not exist ), we are getting following payload as response from Web-Service -->
<i><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <!--  Call Adapter
  -->
  <ns1:hostname xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">vessptd01</ns1:hostname></i>
In which it is just returning the Host Name of server in which it is installed.
I actually pasted the Text-Preview of my Exception Message Mapping also, do you see any error in that.
I have no issues with Request & response Message Mapping.
