The real issue here is that in many cases the SOAP Faults drive business logic. If you can get the 500 Faults, the soap enclosure can be programmed to call other SOAP methods.
Here is a sample: Call GetUsers() 500 Fault >> User not Logged in. Call Login(username, password) 200 Success >> User logged in. Call GetUsers() 200 Success >> Users Objects This is the nature of SOA where faults can route into other business logic and subsequent calls. We do get notification that a fault occurred but we have no idea that the user was not logged in. Being able to get the body of a 500 SOAP fault is critically important.

Which is fine, because your end users don't care what the error is, only that it is broken. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to appropriately exploit 24/7 content **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
