-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Geeks
The JBI specification Message Exchange Patterns part only talks about Faults but does not mention the Error Status. Later in the spec. it says that the Status ERROR is for abnormal termination of a exchange within the JBI environment.
I assume that when an Exchange has a status ERROR that the ME is handled like status DONE status but can be set anywhere during the ME except when it is already in status DONE. The ME with the status ERROR is now sent to the other party which can handle it as a notification but ME is then aborted. In addition a DONE ME cannot be set to an ERROR state and sent back.
On the other hand a fault is just another type of response, I guess, and it the status must not have to be set to ERROR otherwise the ME is aborted. The handling of a Fault can result in an ERROR which is then sent back to the other party.
Most notable in that scenario is the IN_OUT exchange which does not allow the Provider to sent back a DONE message (must be a response or fault) but one can sent back an ERROR, right?
