axis cpp client - exception handling and showing correct message ?

[S Balaji]

Hi All, 

Question : How do I do the exception handling in axis cpp client so that 
correct relevant message is printed out ? 

Detailed description below : 

I am new to Web services. I have a requirement to write C++ client to call a 
customer's web services. My client code has to run on many platforms : Win32, 
AIX, Solaris, HP-Itanium, Linux. I am playing with both gSoap and Axis C++ 
client versions on Windows first. 

I am using axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin binaries on Windows 2000 Advanced Server 
(my laptop). 

My customer's web service is written in Axis for Java. 

First I tried simple examples, and they are working fine :  Calculator, hello 
world etc. 

But when I try calling my customer's web service (real life) example with axis 
client as well as with gSoap client, I am unable to get the actual exception 
string. 

Question : How do I do the correct exception handling so that correct relevant 
message is printed out ? 

Bacause I am sending invalid business data, I get HTTP 500. But as you can see 
in the return HTTP message below, the business exception / fault string is 
"TruckID EXAMPLE-5 cannot be found" but instead I get "Cannot deserialize" with 
Axis and "HTTP 500 error" with gSOap.

This post is only regarding Axis, so I am not expecting any replies regarding 
gSOap.

Below, I have used MacDonalds as an example. They are not my customer :) 

Thanks a LOT in advance !!

Below is my client code : ------------------------------------

try
{
       CustomerService service;
       allocSvcObj.setUsername("username");
       allocSvcObj.setPassword("password");
       TruckObject * createdTruckId = service.callCustomerMethod( 
"EXAMPLE-5","BBB" );
}    
catch(AxisException& e)
{
       printf("Exception : %s\n", e.what());
}

I also tried : 
catch( SoapFaultException & e)
{               
       const char *excpCode = e.getFaultCode();
       const char *excpMessage = e.getFaultString();
       printf("Got Soap Fault : code : [%d], message : [%s]\n", excpCode, 
excpMessage); 
}
catch( AxisException& e)
{               
       int iExceptionCode = e.getExceptionCode();
       const char *excpMessage = e.getMessage();
       printf("Got axis exception : code : [%d], message : [%s]\n", 
iExceptionCode, excpMessage);       
}



Below is my client run result : ------------------------------------

Exception : Cannot deserialize the requested element
if I print e.exceptionCode(), I get 72. 

Below is what the customer's http server returned : 
------------------------------------
