Step 5: Defining the Fault Policy Bindings for the Fault Policy

After creating a fault policy with the Fault Policy wizard, you associate the fault policy with a fault policy bindings file. The fault policy bindings file associates the policies defined in the fault policy file with service components, service binding components, or reference binding components in the SOA composite application.

  1. Open the SOA Composite Editor.
  2. Click the icon above the SOA Composite Editor to define the fault policy bindings for this fault policy. Figure 12-18 provides details.

    The Composite Fault Policies dialog is displayed.

  3. If you want to specify a different fault policy file (for example, one created in the file directory or MDS Repository), click the Browse icon to the right of the Fault Policy File field.
  4. In the Policy column for the SOA composite application, service binding component, or reference binding component, select the fault policy to attach. Figure 12-19 provides details.

  5. In the SOA folder in the Applications window, select the fault-bindings.xml file to view its contents. Figure 12-20 provides details.
