Non Recoverable System Fault :

Error converting DOM nodes into SOAP nodes

Cause:

BPEL Process is trying parse XML payload which do not have name space.

This mainly happens with REST services payload specially with Amazon MWS, AWS and Channel Adviser Services.

Solution:

Receive payload in string format, identify name spaces, create relevant xsd and parse payload using designed xsd with name spaces.
