SEND SOAP FAULT (faultType; description)

ParameterTypeDescription
faultTypeLongint1 = Client fault, 2 = Server fault
descriptionStringDescription of error to be sent to SOAP client

Description

The SEND SOAP FAULT command is used to return an error to a SOAP client indicating the origin of the fault: client or server. Using this command enables you to indicate an error to a client without having to return a result.

For instance, a fault on the client side may be detected when you publish a "Square_root" Web Service and a client sends a request with a negative number; you can use this command in order to indicate to the client that a positive value is required.

A possible fault on the server side may be, for instance, a lack of memory occurring during method execution.

Pass the origin of the error in faultType. You can use the following predefined constants, located in the "Web Services (Server)" theme:

ConstantTypeValue
SOAP Client FaultLongint1
SOAP Server FaultLongint2

Pass a description of the error in description. If the client implementation is in conformity, the error can be processed.

Example

To go back to the example of the "Square_root" Web Service provided in the command description, the following command can be used to process requests with negative numbers:

   SEND SOAP FAULT(SOAP Client Fault;"Positive values required")
