Rather than creating the fault-policies.xml and fault-binding.xml files in your composite project, which then get deployed with the composite into the runtime environment, you can actually reference the fault policies deployed to MDS.
Make sure you have created a file-based MDS repository for JDeveloper, as described at the start of this chapter, and that it contains valid fault-policies.xml and fault-binding.xml files.
Then, open the SOA project in which you want to reference the external fault policy.
- To reference the policies deployed on MDS, we need to add the properties
oracle.composite.faultPolicyFileandoracle.composite.faultBindingFileto thecomposite.xmlfile. - These should be added directly following the
serviceelements and reference the location of your policy and binding files in MDS, as shown in the following code screenshot:
By default, at runtime the SOA infrastructure will look in the same directory, as composite.xml for the fault-policies.xml and fault-binding.xml files.
Specifying these properties overrides this default behavior, causing the SOA infrastructure to reference the specified location within MDS.
