Handling Fault Message

I think I have a at least average intelligense, but today I could not figure out have to handle Fault Message in a BizTalk orchestration.

I followed all common samples and added a Scope with Catch Blocks, one for the service Fault Message and one for ordinary Soap Exceptions, but it did not work. I got: "Received unexpected message type 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/#Fault' does not match expected type 'http://x.y#z'" all the time no mather what I tried.

Now it seems to be a vocabulary problem. I googled on handling "Fault Message", but did not find any solution until I stumbled on something like "Typed Fault Contract", then there was information about configuring the send port correctly.

In the send port for an WCF-adapter you can specify where the body of the response message starts. If you expect to receive either your preferred message or a Fault Message you use a XPath expression. See message tab on the properties for the WCF-adapter.

1. Check Path
2. Add an OR-expression for your possible response messages (/*[local-name()='Fault']/*[local-name()='detail']/* "insert pipe character here" /*[local-name()='MyResponseMessageRootNodeName'] for example, see explanation below)
3. Check that Node encoding is set to Xml
4. Check "Propagate fault message", is checked default

The XPath means:

XPath to Soap fault (can be "Detail", if one can trust other samples, but for me it was "detail")
/*[local-name()='Fault']/*[local-name()='detail']/*

XPath OR
"pipe" (could not enter the pipe character here for some reason)

XPath to your expected Fault Contract/Message
/*[local-name()='MyResponseFaultMessageRootNodeName']
