3.1.4.2.8 wxf:InvalidRepresentation

  • Article

If a client sends a request for a Create or Put operation that would result in an invalid representation of an identity object, the server SHOULD reject the operation and return a SOAP fault with a fault subcode of wxf:InvalidRepresentation (as described in section 5.1 of [WXFR]).

If the representation was invalid because performing the operation would result in an identity object that violates a server-defined constraint, the server SHOULD return the fault with a fault reason and fault detail as specified in the following table.<24>

The fault detail MAY contain an AttributeTypeOrValueAlreadyExists element (section 2.2.3.5) as specified in the following table.<26>
