3.7 Specifying HTTP Error Codes for Faults

Description[top]

For every Interface Fault component contained in an Interface component, an HTTP error code MAY be defined. It represents the error code that will be used by the service in case the fault needs to be returned.

Relationship to WSDL Component Model[top]

The HTTP Fault binding adds the following property to the WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL-PART1]):

• {http error status code}, an integer representing a error Status-Code as defined by [RFC2616], to the Binding Fault component. The value of this property identifies the error code that the service will use in case the fault is returned. If empty, no claim is made by the service.

XML Representation[top]

<definitions >
  <binding >
    <fault ref="xs:QName"
           whttp:code="xs:int" />
    </fault>*
  </binding>
</definitions>

The XML representation for binding a SOAP Fault are two attribute information items with the following Infoset properties:

• whttp:code OPTIONAL attribute information item

  • A [local name] of code

  • A [namespace name] of http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/http

  • A type of wsdls:int
