Hi,

I received no response from the first post in January, so i'm posting again.
Could the working group please respond as to whether or not it believes this is
an issue.  Thanks.

If more than one interface operation ref's the same interface fault, the action
property is ambiguous and cannot be used for message dispatch, e.g.:

<description targetNamespace="http://mytns">
  ...
  <interface name="myInterface">
    <fault name="myFault" element="ns:faultElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myFault"/>
    <operation name="myOperation1"
pattern="http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out">
      <input element="ns:inputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation1"/>
      <output element="ns:outputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation1Response"/>
      <outfault ref="tns:myFault"/>
    </operation>
    <operation name="myOperation2"
pattern="http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out">
      <input element="ns:inputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation2"/>
      <output element="ns:outputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation2Response"/>
      <outfault ref="tns:myFault"/>
    </operation>
  </interface>
  ...

The property should instead be placed on 'infault' and 'outfault' elements and
the default pattern should be changed, e.g.:

[target namespace][delimiter][interface
name][delimiter][operationname][delimiter][direction
token]Fault[delimiter][fault name]

<description targetNamespace="http://mytns">
  ...
  <interface name="myInterface">
    <fault name="myFault" element="ns:faultElement"/>
    <operation name="myOperation1"
pattern="http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out">
      <input element="ns:inputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation1"/>
      <output element="ns:outputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation1Response"/>
      <outfault ref="tns:myFault"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation1/OutFault/myFault"/>
    </operation>
    <operation name="myOperation2"
pattern="http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out">
      <input element="ns:inputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation2"/>
      <output element="ns:outputElement"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation2Response"/>
      <outfault ref="tns:myFault"
wsam:Action="http://mytns/myInterface/myOperation2/OutFault/myFault"/>
    </operation>
  </interface>
  ...
