SOAP Client Web Service Exception Handling

maybe I am not looking in the correct spots, but how should one handle an Exception from a SOAP web service within the Business Process Language? For example I am sending a request to a Web Service to try to get information, but the response I am getting is an Exception like "Patient Not Found".

Is there a function I can call to check the response similar to what I do to check a SQL Snapshot to see if it is valued?

Thanks

Scott,

Do not confuse your self. Response is the data being expected as a result of a call. Exception is never expected. An exception is like an asynchronous event trapped by a dedicated error handler. The trap prepares (or not) to do something to compensate the impact of an error.

Therefor like in COS or Java you need to define a compensation scope (try block) and compensation handlers (catch block). BPL provides components to do it.

Is there a way to check the response before doing something to it? So if I get a "Patient Not Found" response, I can then bypass a DTL I have setup for the response?
