Well, yes and no. If a fault or something occurs BEFORE the processing of the WS-Addressing headers, it would. Things like IO exceptions, possibly security things, malformed XML, etc.... Those would go directly back to the client. Once the WS-Addressing maps are processed, the answer is no. -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] http://dankulp.com/blog
