Registering External Fault Policy(s) with a Composite in SOA 11g

Question

Hi
I was wondering whether it is possible to register more than one external fault policy with a composite. I have loaded some fault policies into my database backed MDS store. I have added a fault-bindings.xml file locally to teh composite to indicate which components I want to use which policy. this file resembles:
<composite faultPolicy="bpelSynchronousProcessingFaults"/>
<component faultPolicy="mediatorSynchronousProcessingFaults">
<name>MediatorRouting</name>
</component>
I have also added to the composite.xml file the respective imports / properties to identify the location of the fault policy files and the fault bindings. These resemble:
</service>
<property name="oracle.composite.faultPolicyFile">oramds:/apps/fault-policies/fault-policies-med-sync.xml</property>
<property name="oracle.composite.faultPolicyFile">oramds:/apps/fault-policies/fault-policies-bpel-sync.xml</property>
<property name="oracle.composite.faultBindingFile">fault-bindings.xml</property>
<component name="MediatorRouting">
For a test I have the BPEL component using one and the mediator component using another, both within the same composite. Depending on the order of the 2 properties shown above, only one is registered. This being the second one.
Is it possible to register more than one policy in this way? I have been unable to get both working at the same time. Each works independently if I only register one of them. I want keep the fault policies external to the composites to allow them to be re-used appropriately across composites within an SOA project
My thinking is, in order to be able to have differing policies effecting different components within a composite i'd have thought it would have been possible to define more than one external policy for a composite. However it appears this is not the case as it only registers or atleast works with the last policy in an import. Also placing the files locally within the composite with differing names has no impact.
Therefore i'm assuming (unless I have configured these incoorectly) there is no option to have multiple fault policies for a composite. Therefore there is no ability to define a different policy per component within a composite
Kind Regards

Using the fault binding attach your fault policy to particular component. See example below.Use the tag  <component faultPolicy="ServiceFaults">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.1"
xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <component faultPolicy="ServiceFaults">
  <name>Component1</name>
  <name>Component2</name>
  </component>
  <!-- Below listed component names use polic CRM_SeriveFaults -->
  <component faultPolicy="CRM_ServiceFaults">
  <name>HelloWorld</name>
  <name>ShippingComponent</name>
  <name>AnotherComponent"</name>
  </component>
  <!-- Below listed reference names and port types use polic CRM_ServiceFaults
-->
  <reference faultPolicy="CRM_ServiceFaults">
  <name>creditRatingService</name>
  <name>anotherReference</name>
  <portType
xmlns:credit="http://services.otn.com">credit:CreditRatingService</portType>
  <portType
xmlns:db="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/insert/">db:insert_
plt</portType>
  </reference>
  <reference faultPolicy="test1">
  <name>CreditRating3</name>
  </reference>
</faultPolicyBindings>
