Issue 185: Clarify relationship between fault name and type of fault data

Status: received
Date added: 20 Jan 2005
Categories: Fault handling
Date submitted: 19 January 2005
Submitter: Satish Thatte
Description: Per the discussion in the TC call today, it seems that there are different interpretations of allowable relationship between a fault name and the type of fault data associated with that name. My interpretation has always been that a fault is a “package” consisting of a QName and a specific type of data “payload”. Using the same QName with different data types would amount to “overloading” of a kind. But clearly, my interpretation is not the only possible one and in any case this is not clearly stated one way or the other in the specification, which it should be, because this is an issue of normative constraints on the usage of fault names/data.

I therefore propose that we open this new issue, in order to discuss and clarify this ambiguity in the text of the specification.

Submitter's proposal: None so far.
