Procedure for using Error Policy with JDeveloper 11g

Introduction

Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) 11g provides sophisticated error handling capabilities that allow a developer to easily define exception handling at various levels in a composite application. The fault-handling framework uses exception-handling policies describes using XML  These exception-handling policies are attached to a composite and are not defined within its code.  This allows a developer to reuse policy definitions across multiple components, composites and project.

A project-wide error policy named ExampleProcessingFaults has been defined that specifies actions that should be taken for binding faults, mediator faults, and remote faults.

This document lists the steps that a developer should take to use this project-wide error policy for an existing SOA application.

Procedure

1.      Start Oracle JDeveloper and right click the project that you want to modify.

2.   Select File / New as shown below:

3.      Select XML Document and click the OK button.

4.      Enter the name fault-bindings.xml as the file name and press the OK button.  This name must be entered exactly as shown.

5.      Paste the following code from this document into the fault-bindings.xml file. Note that this code references the ExampleProcessingFaults policy

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.1"

                     xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"

                     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

  <composite faultPolicy="ExampleProcessingFaults"/>

</faultPolicyBindings>

6.    Save the project and redeploy it.  The new fault policy rules should now be in effect.
