Issue - 163 - languageExecutionFault
Status: received

Date added: 22 Sep 2004

Categories: Syntax & validation

Date submitted: 22 September 2004

Submitter: Danny van der Rijn

Description: If a language that is executing subordinate to BPEL (e.g. 
XPATH) throws a fault, there is no current spec language that defines 
what to do with it.  This proposal clarifies that behavior.

Submitter's solution: To add a new standard fault, languageExecutionFault, which is 
thrown if the expression language or xxx throws an unhandled fault.

Add to the end of section 14.1  "If execution of the expression language 
yields an unhandled fault, the standard fault languageExecutionFault is 
thrown."

Add to the end of section 14.3  "If execution of the query language 
yields an unhandled fault, the standard fault languageExecutionFault is 
thrown."

Question: Should this fault define a message type (or should a generic 
message type be defined) to carry any additional data that is received 
from the executing language?
