Error Handling Demo Service

The CA application comes with an Error Handling Demo service. This service can be found at webroot/API/ErrorHandlingDemo.svc.

The Error Handling Demo service has six error-producing methods, all of which return no value (void):

• CreateNoError() – To test “no error” situations.
• YieldValidatorError(int number) – To test data validation errors.
• DemandViewAlertPermissions() – To test authorization and authentication errors.
• Wait(int seconds) – To test communication errors (timeout).
• YieldEntityExistsFault() – To test business errors.
• ThrowException() – To test all other errors.

These methods create errors that represent all the error types in CA Business Service Insight. These methods are useful when creating and testing a proxy that can expect and handle bounced faults.
