The Fault Element

Within an Operation element, the Fault element is used for error handling, typically with the Web service sending a message to the client.

See The Operation Element for more information.

How to Create a Fault Element

1. Select the Operation element whose Fault element you want to describe.

2. Select Diagram > Add > Fault from the Stylus Studio menu.

Alternative: Right-click the Operation element and choose Add > Fault from the shortcut menu.

Stylus Studio adds a Fault element to the WSDL as a child of the Operation element. The default name is Fault, and you cannot change it.

The following table describes the properties of the Fault element.
