  • 1.  SOAP Fault location

    Posted 09-26-2001 10:08
    I'm wondering if the parsing of the ebXML Header (contained in the SOAP
    Header) is a SOAP or ebXML function.  Specifically, if the ebXML
    information cannot be parsed correctly, should this be reported as a SOAP
    Fault, or an ebXML Error?
    
    I'm hoping the latter, since otherwise, there may be a conflict with the
    SOAP specs, which indicate that any SOAP Fault appear in the SOAP Body, and
    the detail section of the SOAP Fault has this comment:
    "The detail element is intended for carrying application specific error
    information related to the Body element. It MUST be present if the
    contents of the Body element could not be successfully processed. It MUST
    NOT be used to carry information about error information
    belonging to header entries. Detailed error information belonging to header
    entries MUST be carried within header entries."
