Exiting from OSB pipeline when application error occurs

Question

Hi
My proxy exposes 3 operations to the consumers though WSDL with different inputs and similar output formats. For all these 3 operations there is a common service to be called before actually get into the operational branch that i created for handling these operations. so the message flow would be like below:
pipelinepair1 -> stage1 in pipeline1 ->service callout -> opeartional branch.
I am manipulating the response n respone line of pipeline1 for all the operations as its similar strcuture. If an application error arises in service callout the error will be in the body. so if the error raise i should directly exit from message flow in service callout itself wthout proceeding to operational branch. So i tried with reply action, though i am existing from OSB its not going into response pipeline of pipelinepair1. How can i handle this scenario? i don't want to put the same thing in service callout response pipeline again. Please let me know your insights.
Thanks
Siva

This could be done in different ways... why you need to manipulate the response in response pipeline only.
When your service call out fails do a 'Raise error' action.. and process the reply in stage error handler which will complete with a "reply with failue ( or success) action. if you have not configured an stage error handler, you need to do this in the service error handler.
As this is an error case it is apt you handle this at the error pipeline( stage or service error handler) rather than the response pipeline.
