JR60605: THE BUSINESS PROCESS CHOREOGRAPHER CALLASYNC API DOESN'T RETURN THE FAULT CORRECTLY

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The callAsync Business Process Choreographer API is used to call
  long-running processes. When a modeled business fault occurs
  and is returned to the caller, you receive an exception similar
  to this:
  
  <soapenv:Envelope
  xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soapenv:Body>
    <a:callbackAsyncProcessFault
  xmlns:a="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/business-proces
  s/callback-services/7.0"
  xmlns:b="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing"
  xmlns:c="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/bpc-common/type
  s/7.0">
     <processFault>
      <faultStack>
       <message>CWWBA0010E: Unexpected exception during
  execution.</message>
       <messageKey>Api.UnexpectedFailure</messageKey>
       <timestamp>2018-12-05T08:52:28.000Z</timestamp>
       <endOfV7000/>
      </faultStack>
     </processFault>
    </a:callbackAsyncProcessFault>
  </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>
  
  instead of the modeled fault. The underlying error of that
  Api.UnexpectedFailure is a NullPointerException in
  com.ibm.bpe.util.BPCJAXWSConverter.getBusinessFaultType.
