Using the Throw Element

Use this activity to signal an internal fault.

Usage

In defining the properties of this element, you can specify a fault name and a fault variable. These details can then be passed onto a fault handler that is configured to deal with this kind of exception.

Throw Element Properties

The properties of the Throw element can be configured via the Properties window invoked by right-clicking the element and choosing Properties. The options are:

• Name

• Fault Name. Clicking the ellipsis button (...) invokes the Fault Name dialog box where you can choose the fault from the list that includes faults defined in WSDL files.

  You can use the WSDL Editor to add fault definitions to the WSDL file. For more information, see the Configuring Port Types Using the WSDL View section of the Developer Guide to the WSDL Editor.

• Fault Variable. Click the ellipsis button (...) to specify the name of the variable, already declared in the BPEL file, that will contain the fault message.
