Throw a new soap fault

Question

Hello to Everyone,
I'm a OSB 10.3.1 newbie, and i want to throw a new soap fault.
The problem is that the error code & error message comes in the body of the response message (not in a soap fault). From this response i capture the errors (code & message) and assign them to context variables.
How can i throw a new soap fault with the values of the context variables?.
Thanks

Hi,
The body of the response is in fact where you would create the soap fault (for SOAP services of course). The only trick is that the child element of the body variable must be a <soap-evn:Fault> element.
What I've done in some projects is define an XQuery transformation to create the soap fault. The soap fault has a detail element where you can add your custom exceptions (those defined in your WSDL). As input arguments to the XQuery transformation you can send the error code and message that come in the fault variable plus any other arguments you might want to add.
For example (I'm omitting the namespace declarations, variable declarations that the transformation should have):
declare function xf:createSOAPFault($errorCode as xs:string, $errorMessage as xs:string, $operationId as xs:string)
    as element(env:Fault) {
<env:Fault>
    <faultcode>env:Server</faultcode>
    <faultstring>{ $errorMessage }</faultstring>
    <detail>
        <ns0:MyException>
            <ns0:operationId>{ $operationId }</ns0:operationId>
            <ns0:errorCode>{ $errorCode }</ns0:errorCode>
            <ns0:errorMessage>{ $errorMessage }</ns0:errorMessage>
        </ns0:MyException>
    </detail>
</env:Fault>
};If your client is using JAX-WS for example, you could do something like this:
try {
   // invoke ws
} catch (MyException e) {
    log("Operation ID: " + e.getOperationId() + ", Error Code: " + e.getErrorCode() + ", Message: " + e.getErrorMessage());
}
