SOAP fault elements in the SOAP response contain the errors that occur during calls to web services.

While calling any of the batch web services operations, the client application should implement the appropriate error handling scheme to retrieve the SOAP fault. This scheme varies according to the toolkit.

A web services toolkit provides an exception handling scheme to get the faultcode and faultstring field of a fault element. However, you might need an XML parser to parse the detail element field to get the error code and extended details.
