When invoking a soap web service, bpel throws an error on the returned message. This only happens when the external web service returns a fault. The xsd and wsdl of the external service seem to pass all checks in jdeveloper.
The response is unable to be parsed as it does not even read the response into the variable in bpel.... it throws this error:
**\<Fault xmlns:ns0="[http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension](http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension)">**
**\<faultcode>ns0:bindingFault\</faultcode>**
**\<faultstring>cannot create QName from "null" or "" String\</faultstring>**
**\<faultactor/>**
**\<detail>**
**\<exception/>**
**\</detail>**
**\</Fault>**
When attaching a logging policy to the partner service I see the response:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
**\<soapenv:Fault>**

**\</detail>**
**\</soapenv:Fault>**
</soapenv:Body>
**</soapenv:Envelop****e>
**
So in conclusion, the response comes back from the service but the BPEL is unable to parse it and errors out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: found this line in the logs aswell
| Message | Received an application fault after invoking endpoint URI "https://www.test........./BusinessService" with fault message: null. Please examine the fault details and verify corresponding business logic to further troubleshoot the issue. |
The fault message clearly isn't null so i am not sure why this is happening.
