Fault element handling into SOAP Request
----------------------------------------

         Key: AXIS-2491
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2491
     Project: Apache Axis
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 1.2.1    
 Environment: Solaris 8
    Reporter: pmag10


We've implemented a "asynchronous" SOAP/1.1interface  based on Axis 1.2.1 in 
the following way : 
 - Submitter [A] sends a SOAP request to [B]
 - B acknowledges it and starts processing the incoming request
 - Processing result is forwarded by [B] to [A] (so B becomes the client and 
[A] the server)
     - once the initial SOAP request as been acknowledged by [B], if the 
business logic process fails, the error cause is returned to [A] using the SOAP 
Fault element (architecture choice) -> it means that a Fault element is 
introduced into a SOAP request

As far as we've seen, SOAP/1.1 specifications or additional 3w notes do not 
specified that the element Fault is forbidden into SOAP request but just that 
the Fault element is "mainly" used into SOAP response (which is really clear).

Based on that, we have 2 questions :
  - [Q1] - Are we compliant with SOAP/1.1 specifications ?
  - [Q2]- If yes, in this case why the Axis [A]client is not hable to process 
properly the SOAP message sent by [B] : 
     - indeed, when server [A]  receveives the incoming SOAP request including 
a SOAP Fault element, no exception is raised (which is the expected behavior) 
but the Fault element is raised by Axis to the application layer set to null, 
which is to our mind a bug.

Regards,
