SOAP Faults

SOAP Faults are generated when there is an error processing a Web service request (also known as a SOAP request). A SOAP Fault consists of three elements:

• faultcode – Used by the software making the Web service call to take action based on the type of error that occurred.
• faultstring – Contains the human-readable, localized error message.
• detail – Contains exception-specific information about the error. The detail section is normally an AEWebServicesFault that includes the error message generated by the Web service call.

All Web service calls perform user authentication and license checking. If an error occurs as a result of authenticating a user or allocating a license, a SOAP Fault is returned. A list of the error messages follows:

• ae:Client.LoginNoConcurrentLicense – No concurrent licenses available
• ae:Client.LoginConcurrentExpired – User had but lost concurrent license
• ae:Client.LoginServerDown – LDAP Server Down
• ae:Client.LoginUserDisabled – Disabled user account
• ae:Client.LoginNamespaceDisabled – Disabled namespace
• ae:Client.LoginLicenseViolation – System is in seat license violation
• ae:Client.LoginInvalidUserCredentials – Userid or password is invalid

The faultstring and AEWebServicesFault contain a human-readable, localized error message that can be displayed to users.
