The Axis user guide states the following:
If the server method throws a java.rmi.RemoteException then
this will be mapped into a SOAP Fault. The faultcode of this will contain
the classname of the fault. The recipient is expected to deserialize the
body of the fault against the classname.
but I have a service method that throws a RemoteException in the following way:
throw new RemoteException("No state stored for this client");
and the stacktrace in the client shows me the following:
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: java.lang.NullPointerException
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:

Clearly, the faultCode does NOT contain the classname of the fault.. It
appears that the Axis makeFault method is throwing a
NullPointerException somewhere in the Client.
I've also tried using the following in replacement of throwing a RemoteException:
throw new org.apache.axis.AxisFault("No state stored for this client");
But the stack trace is identical.
Am I doing something wrong here?
