BPEL Standard Faults

The following list specifies the standard faults defined within the WS-BPEL specification. All these faults are named within the WS-BPEL namespace standard prefix bpel: corresponding to URI: urn:oasis:names:tc:wsbpel:2.0:process:executable.

Fault name

Description

ambiguousReceive

Thrown when a business process instance simultaneously enables two or more IMAs for the same partnerLink, portType, operation but different correlation Sets, and the correlations of multiple of these activities match an incoming request message

completionConditionFailure

Thrown if upon completion of a directly enclosed <scope> activity within <forEach> activity it can be determined that the completion condition can never be true

conflictingReceive

Thrown when more than one inbound message activity is enabled simultaneously for the same partner link, port type, operation and correlation set(s).

conflictingRequest

Thrown when more than one inbound message activity is open for the same partner link, operation and message exchange

correlationViolation

Thrown when the contents of the messages that are processed in an <invoke>, <receive>, <reply>, <onMessage>, or <onEvent> do not match specified correlation information

invalidBranchCondition

Thrown if the integer value used in the <branches> completion condition of <forEach> is larger than the number of directly enclosed <scope> activities

invalidExpressionValue

Thrown when an expression used within a WS-BPEL construct (except <assign>) returns an invalid value with respect to the expected XML Schema type

invalidVariables

Thrown when an XML Schema validation (implicit or explicit) of a variable value fails

joinFailure

Thrown when the join condition of an activity evaluates to false and the value of the suppresJoinFailure attribute is yes

mismatchedAssignmentFailure

Thrown when incompatible types or incompatible XML infoset structure are encountered in an <assign> activity

missingReply

Thrown when an inbound message activity has been executed, and the process instance or scope instance reaches the end of its execution without a corresponding <reply> activity having been executed

missingRequest

Thrown when a <reply> activity cannot be associated with an open inbound message activity by matching the partner link, operation and message exchange tuple

scopeInitializationFailure

Thrown if there is any problem creating any of the objects defined as part of scope initialization. This fault is always caught by the parent scope of the faulted scope

selectionFailure

Thrown when a selection operation performed either in a function such as bpel:getVariableProperty, or in an assignment, encounters an error

subLanguageExecutionFault

Thrown when the execution of an expression results in an unhandled fault in an expression language or query language

uninitializedPartnerRole

Thrown when an <invoke> or <assign> activity references a partner link whose partnerRole endpoint reference is not initialized

uninitializedVariable

Thrown when there is an attempt to access the value of an uninitialized variable, or in the case of a message type variable, one of its uninitialized parts

unsupportedReference

Thrown when a WS-BPEL implementation fails to interpret the combination of the reference-scheme attribute and the content element OR just the content element alone

xsltInvalidSource

Thrown when the transformation source provided in a bpel:doXslTransform function call was not legal

xsltStylesheetNotFound

Thrown when the named style sheet in a bpel:doXslTransform function call was not found
