Fault Management Framework - Part 2

Structure of a fault-bindings.xml file

The fault policy bindings file fault-bindings.xml, which is located in the same directory, binds the policies of the fault policy file with

·         The SOA composite application
·         The BPEL processes and Oracle Mediator components
·         The reference binding components for BPEL processes and Oracle Mediator Service components

<faultPolicyBindings>
 <composite>
 <component>
  <name>
 <reference>
  <name>
  <portType>

The framework identifies the fault policy bindings in the following order:

·         Reference Binding Component
·         BPEL Process or Oracle Mediator Service Component
·         SOA Composite Application

If no condition is found during evaluation, the execution checks the next level.


Example of fault-bindings.xml file

This example associates the fault policy with the composite application

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.2"
 xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<composite faultPolicy="ApplicationProcessingFaults"/>
</faultPolicyBindings>

Another example with definitions for BPEL / Mediator Components and definitions for references of an external service

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.2"
 xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<composite faultPolicy="Connection_Faults"/>
<component faultPolicy="Service_Faults">
<name>Komponente1</name>
</component>
<reference faultPolicy="Service_Faults">
<name>Service1</name>
<name>Reference2</name>
<portType xmlns:credit="http://xxxxxxx">xxxxxxService</portType>
<portType xmlns:db="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/insert/">db:insert_plt</portType>
</reference>
<reference faultPolicy="test1">
<name>name3</name>
</reference>
</faultPolicyBindings>
