Symptoms

You deploy and invoke a bpel process via the BPEL Console . It errors out in the compensation activity with a message :

</remoteFault>
</fault>
</messages>
[2008/01/08 11:33:20] "{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}remoteFault"
has been thrown.less
-&lt;remoteFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension">
-<part name="summary">
<summary>
exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException:
oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type:
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
</summary>
</part>
</remoteFault>

You can also see a message that " BPEL compensate activity is executed " - but, actually no activity inside compensation handler gets executed . So you will not be able to undo the effect caused by that particular scope on which compensate activity was called.
