SOAP Fault Display

When a SOAP request returns a fault, WSDL Web detects it automatically and renders the fault in a structured, readable format instead of showing raw XML.

What's displayed

Both SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 fault structures are supported.

SOAP 1.1

Field	Source element
Fault code	<faultcode>
Fault string	<faultstring>
Actor	<faultactor> (if present)
Detail	<detail> (if present)

SOAP 1.2

Field	Source element
Code	<Code><Value>
Reason	<Reason><Text>
Role	<Role> (if present)
Node	<Node> (if present)
Detail	<Detail> (if present)

Detail view

If the fault includes a <detail> element, its contents are shown in a collapsible section with XML syntax highlighting. This is useful for service-specific error information that is nested inside the fault.

Example

A SOAP 1.1 fault response like:

<soap:Fault>
  <faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
  <faultstring>Invalid ticker symbol</faultstring>
  <detail>
    <error xmlns="http://example.com/errors">
      <code>INVALID_SYMBOL</code>
      <message>The symbol 'XYZ123' was not found.</message>
    </error>
  </detail>
</soap:Fault>

is rendered as a colour-coded alert showing the fault code and message, with the detail XML expandable below.
