Consider the following scenario. An orchestration is
published as a Web service. The Web service redirects the SOAP request to an
external Web service. The external Web service returns a SOAP exception. In
this scenario, the negative acknowledgement (NACK) message in Microsoft BizTalk
Server 2006 does not contain the details of the original exception. If the hotfix in
Microsoft Knowledge Base article 927492 has been installed, the NACK message
may be correct. However, the message format may be incorrect. This may cause a
NullReferenceException error message.
