  3. Click the Add Catch icon in the BPEL process to add a catch activity as the fault handler for the BPEL process. You can also use a CatchAll activity. Figure 12-2 provides details.
  4. Double-click the catch activity to specify the system fault. Figure 12-3 provides details.

    There is no assert activity to trigger this system fault. You can add one to assert an input field.

  5. In the Namespace URI field, click the Browse icon.

    The Fault Chooser dialog is displayed.

  6. Select a system fault (for this example, assertFailure), and click OK. There are many other system faults that can be selected. Figure 12-4 provides details.
