Can SOA 11g fault policy handle XSD Validation errors from the Mediator?

Question

I would like all errors in my SOA process to go through the fault-policies.xml. But I don't seem to be able to catch any mediator error caused by an XSD validation failure. A sample of the sort of error I am trying to 'catch' is:
Nonrecoverable System Fault          oracle.tip.mediator.infra.exception.MediatorException: ORAMED-01303:[Payload default schema validation error]XSD schema validation fails with error Invalid text 'A' in element: 'TermCode'Possible Fix:Fix payload and resubmit.
My fault-policies.xml file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

You'll notice that I've tried a number of ways (and various other combinations) to try to steer the error above into my Java fault handler but nothing has meet with success. The mplan is as follows:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

I'm a newbie to Oracle SOA. So perhaps I am missing the obvious. But I haven't read much in the documentation specifically about using the XSD validation option on the mediator and have seen nothing specifically about catching this sort of exception in the fault policy (apart from the faults I already have in my policy). Can anyone suggest what I am doing incorrectly here or perhaps whether what I am attempting to do is not possible? Thanks.

Answer 1

Has anyone got it working yet?
In my case, I have the following sequence:
FileAdapter -> Mediator1 -> Mediator2->DB Adapter
I am deliberately introducing validation error in File. Isn't it correct to assume Fault framework would get triggered at Mediator1 level since we are invoking FileAdapter service?
I am getting a strange behaviour. If I enable XSD validation at Mediator1 level, process is Faulted with no re-try option. However, if I enable XSD validation ONLY at Mediator2 level, I get Recoverable fault. There seems to be some disconnect between documentation and reality. I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 version and SOA Suite 11g.
Thanks,
Amjad.
