Catch faultVariable to Reply fault

Question

Hello.
I catch fault
<catch faultName="bpelx:invalidVariables"
faultVariable="inputError">
and I want to send this fault to client by reply
<reply name="Reply_2" partnerLink="client"
portType="client:P_msg"
operation="push"
variable="push_OutputVariable"
faultName="bpelx:invalidVariables"/>
but all I get is
<env:Fault xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension">
<faultcode>bpelx:invalidVariables</faultcode>
<faultstring>business exception</faultstring>
<faultactor>cx-fault-actor</faultactor>
How can I move fault infromations to client.
Have I create push_OutputVariable as RuntimeFaultMessage type and assign values from faultVariable inputError.
Thank you.

You probably forgot to include a 'reply' activity within the sequence in your exception.
Make sure you have some elements in the output type of the BPEL process in your XSD where you can put your error information. In the exception sequence, first use copy rules in an assign to copy the error information to your process output. Then add a reply activity to send the result back to your client.
Simple example:
<catch faultName="bpelx:remoteFault" faultVariable="RemoteFaultVar">
      <sequence name="remoteFaultSequence">
        <assign name="setServiceBericht">
          <copy>
            <from expression="number(bpws:getVariableData('RemoteFaultVar','code'))"/>
            <to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
                query="/client:bpSaveChecklistProcessResponse/client:serviceCode"/>
          </copy>
          <copy>
            <from variable="RemoteFaultVar" part="summary"/>
            <to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
                query="/client:bpSaveChecklistProcessResponse/client:serviceBericht"/>
          </copy>
        </assign>
        <reply name="replyOutput" partnerLink="client"
               portType="client:bpSaveChecklist" operation="process"
               variable="outputVariable"/>
      </sequence>
</catch>HTH,
