Fault Mediator

The Fault Mediator (also called the Makefault Mediator) transforms the current message into a fault message. However, this mediator does not send the converted message. The Send Mediator needs to be invoked to send a fault message created via the Fault mediator. The fault message's To header is set to the Fault-To of the original message (if such a header exists in the original message). You can create the fault message as a SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, or plain-old XML (POX) fault.

For more information on faults and errors, see Error Handling.

Syntax

<makefault [version="soap11|soap12|pox"]>
   <code (value="literal" | expression="xpath")/>
   <reason (value="literal" | expression="xpath")>
   <node>?
   <role>?
   <detail>?
</makefault>

UI Configuration

Click on the relevant tab to view the required UI configuration pending on whether you want to create the fault message as a SOAP 1.1 fault, SOAP 1.2 fault or a plain-old XML (POX) fault.

Examples

In the following example, the test message string value is given as the reason for the SOAP error versionMismatch.

<makefault xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" version="soap11">
   <code xmlns:soap11Env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" value="soap11Env:VersionMismatch" />
   <reason value="test message " />
   <role></role>
</makefault>
