Modeling errors propagated from external web services

In the previous section, we mentioned some examples of possible faults that could be generated from the external web service. We also mentioned that those faults are called WSDL faults. These faults are modeled in WSDL representation of the external web service and we'll explain more about this in the WSDL faults subsection.

Previous paragraphs introduced how the problematic behaviors in a business process can be managed in the WS-BPEL 2.0 world based on defined constructs such as <throw> and <faultHandler>. In the next sections we are going to dig deep into those constructs.
