I am fine with clarifying this from a protocol standpoint without getting into implementation details. For example, from a protocol standpoint, a fault is generated due to a failure of the request. But how the implementation handles the failure (such as whether/how it records that information) is an implementation detail. Thanks.

"Request failure" and "processing cessation" are two different things. I assert that our definition of "generate a fault" should state that when a fault is generated (a) processing of the request in which the fault occurs ceases (b) some record of this fault is produced and possibly recorded (depending on log/trace config) (c) a fault message is optionally transmitted (if a response was expected this fault is transmitted in lieu of the response or no response is transmitted). - gp On 12/31/2009 3:46 PM, Ram Jeyaraman wrote: Is it fair to assume that the act of generating a fault will halt the processing of the request in who's context the fault was generated? Yes, readers familiar with general fault semantics would conclude that the corresponding request failed when a fault is generated.

Thus, to resolve this issue, I suggest: Include changes to fault definitions as proposed in the issue. Add [1] to the compliance section. Thanks. [1] Add to the compliance section of all WS-RA specifications The term "generate" in used relation to the various faults defined by this specification. This term implies that a fault is produced but does not necessarily imply that it is transmitted.
