BPEL PM 10.1.3.3.0 : Exception Framework not capturing Business Faults.

Question

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem with exception framework of BPEL PM 10.1.3.3.0 whereby it's not capturing Business Faults thrown using throw activity.
The following is exactly what I am using:
1) Fault Policy File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicy version="2.0.1" id="TestPolicy" xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
     <Conditions>          
          <faultName xmlns:coeFaults="http://test.myco.com/faults" name="coeFaults:testFault">
               <condition>
                    <action ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
               </condition>
          </faultName>
     </Conditions>
     <Actions>
          <Action id="ora-retry">
               <retry>
                    <retryCount>8</retryCount>
                    <retryInterval>2</retryInterval>
                    <exponentialBackoff/>
                    <retryFailureAction ref="ora-rethrow-fault"/>
               </retry>
          </Action>
          <!-- This is an action will cause a replay scope fault-->
          <Action id="ora-replay-scope">
               <replayScope/>
          </Action>
          <!-- This is an action will bubble up the fault-->
          <Action id="ora-rethrow-fault">
               <rethrowFault/>
          </Action>
          <!-- This is an action will mark the work item to be "pending recovery from console"-->
          <Action id="ora-human-intervention">
               <humanIntervention/>
          </Action>
          <!-- This action will cause the instance to terminate-->
          <Action id="ora-terminate">
               <abort/>
          </Action>
     </Actions>
</faultPolicy>
2) Faultpolicy Binding which I specify in bpel.xml just after partnerLinkBindings completes :
     <faultPolicyBindings>
          <process faultPolicy="TestPolicy"/>
     </faultPolicyBindings>
3) Throw activity in my bpel process is as follows:
<throw name="TestFault" faultName="ns1:testFault"
faultVariable="FaultVar"/>
Where ns1 refers to http://test.myco.com/faults
And FaultVar is of type FaultMessage which is defined as follows:
     <message name="FaultMessage">
          <part name="payload" element="client:FaultEle"/>
     </message>
And FaultEle is of complexType as follows:
<complexType name="FaultType">
<sequence>
<element name="code" type="string"/>
<element name="summary" type="string"/>
<element name="detail" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
Gurus, please let me know what wrong I am doing here.
Or is this a known issue in 10.1.3.3.0 ? If so, please provide me the workaround or fix.
Thanks-
Ashish.

Answer 1

The fault management framework catches all faults (business and runtime) for an invoke activity only.
For all other activities use the BPEL fault handler.
