Currently, SOAP faults can be used in response vectors but the specification can be interpreted in the way that in some cases the faults could be returned directly (without the message body).
I think it would be easier for the developer (of a client, for example) to have only one kind of faults. So I'd vote for having the faults returned only in the response element, even if the request concerned only one activity or the fault concerns all of the activities given in the vector (these are the cases I think the fault could be returned directly, according to the current spec).
Sorry, it just got to me that this is not optimal at all - for example having to return the same 1000 faults in the response element... It is a bit cumbersome for the developer but it is better to return the direct SOAP fault in case there's an error concerning all of the activities (including the case of 1 activity) in the vector. So I think the WSDL needs to be corrected so to add some faults (i.e. NotAuthorizedFaults) to some operations (i.e. TerminateActivities, GetActivityDocuments) as it lacks some of them currently. -- Piotr Domagalski
