The SOAP Fault Element

An error message from a SOAP message is carried inside a Fault element.

If a Fault element is present, it must appear as a child element of the Body element. A Fault element can only appear once in a SOAP message.

The SOAP Fault element has the following sub elements:

Sub Element Description
A code for identifying the fault
A human readable explanation of the fault
Information about who caused the fault to happen
Holds application specific error information related to the Body element
