The fault namespace is not pre-populated when you create a throw activity in a BPEL business process

Troubleshooting


Problem

A throw activity with an empty fault namespace that is defined in WebSphere Integration Developer V6.1 or later can cause an application startup failure when WebSphere Process Server uses an Oracle database

Cause

When working with a throw activity to throw a fault (that might be internal to a process), you might choose to use a fault without a namespace. However, Oracle databases treat an empty string as a NULL value. When the database column is specified with a 'NOT NULL' constraint, the 'cannot insert NULL' error might occur because the fault does not have a namespace.

Environment

This problem occurs only when WebSphere Process Server uses an Oracle database.

Diagnosing The Problem

In the FFDC log file, look for the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into xxxx

Resolving The Problem

In WebSphere Integration Developer, provide a namespace for each throw activity in your business process if you are using Oracle as your WebSphere Process Server database. In general, when using Oracle as your WPS database, try to abstain from empty namespaces.
