[wsdl] Where to put headerfaults in the SOAP Binding | Re: [wsdl] Where to put headerfaults in the SOAP Binding
Hi,

Yes, the fault header entries are declared using soap:faultheader 
elements nested within the request header declaration with which 
they are associated, so this will all be contained within the <input>  
element in the binding. Here is an example:
