  ****************************************************************
  In IBM BPM design, an inbound web service will execute a
  service as the implementation of the web service method. If
  there is any exception when running the  service, there will
  be an exception thrown to the inbound web service framework.
  Without this ifix, the exception is caught by the web service
  framework and an empty response is sent to the caller. The
  HTTP status code 200 is returned.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1.2
  to update related functions so that a  SOAP fault will be
  returned if there are any exceptions in the service
  implementation. The SOAP fault will contain the content of the
  exception.
