Custom fault message from OSB is not throw in BPEL

Question

Hi,
I have created a custom fault error in OSB which is sent to BPEL.
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<env:Fault>
</env:Fault>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
If my namespace in FAULT tag is "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/",
message is understood as fault IN BPEL. But if I change namespace, BPEL understands as reply message.
How can I use my custom fault message with different namespace as http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ ?
Regards,

SOAP Fault has a defined structure and defined namespaces. It does provide a placeholder for custom data though. Just like you can not change the namespace of Envelope of Body, similarly you cant change the namespace of Fault(if you want it to be recognized by the client apps). Any custom data you want to send in the SOAP Fault needs to be set as a child of 'detail' element of SOAP Fault. This custom data can have any namespace you wish. This Custom XML will be the element you define as Fault element in your WSDL
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<env:Fault>
<faultcode>env:Client</faultcode>
<faultstring>some error string</faultstring>
<faultactor>somedata</faultactor>
<detail>
{here you can put your custom XML content in any namespace which you have defined in the WSDL}
</detail>
</env:Fault>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
