Issue - R18 - Uniqueness of WSDL Faults
Status: received
Date added: 10 Oct 2006
Date submitted: 10 October 2006
Submitter: Danny van der
Rijn
Description: 1) Assume I have a WSDL portType that looks
like
the following:
portType pT
operation op
input element = "a:b"
output element = "a:c"
fault name="fault1" element = "a:fault"
fault name="fault2" element = "a:fault"
Most WSDL transports (e.g. SOAP) do not tranport fault names on
the
wire. Usually all that is transmitted is the "a:fault" element, wrapped
in some information that does not include the fault name.
Yet 10.3 states that "This results in a fault identified in
WS-BPEL by a QName formed by the target namespace of the corresponding
port type and the fault name." We have no way of deriving, in this
case, whether we're talking about foo:fault1 or foo:fault2.
Possible resolutions include
- changing the fault catching behavior to not use fault name,
but
its data type
- disallowing WSDLs that use the same element in more than one
fault in an operation. (In the whole WSDL?)
- explicitly specifying rules for inferring fault names. For
example, we could say that "a:fault" will always be turned into
"foo:fault1" and "foo:fault2" will never be inferred.
2) Can't find in the spec what the QName of a non-declared fault is.
