SOAP Errors

The SOAP Fault Element

An error message from a SOAP application is carried inside a Fault element.

If a Fault element is present, it must appear as an element within the Body element. A Fault element can only appear once in a SOAP message.

The SOAP Fault element has the following sub elements:

Sub Element	Description
<faultcode>	A code identifying the error
<faultstring>	The error as a string
<faultactor>	Who caused the error
<detail>	Specific error information

Fault Codes

Error	Description
VersionMismatch	Invalid namespace for the SOAP Envelope element
MustUnderstand	A child element of the Header element, with the mustUnderstand attribute set to "1", was not understood
Client	The message was incorrectly formed or contained incorrect information
Server	There was a problem with the server so the message could not proceed
