Hi!
User
status : AXIS newbie
Well I
am developing some 'simple' web services as part of my final year project! I am
using a 100% RPC approach! I have a service that is responsible of making some
sort of user validation. The client invokes the Logging service passing a
username and password. The service checks its credentials and if the processing
is succesful returns an encrypted string that is going to be used for the
invocation of other services,like a passport lets say :) . Ok.. my newbie
question is , alright and what if the credentials are bad..and the logging is
non valid. Is it my responsibility as a developer that should take care of
it, I mean that I should return a string saying 'ERROR' and the client
side.(which is implemented by me) should have the code to check the string , or
SHOULD i sent a FAULT response. From what i have red till now, a FAULT message
is only associated with exception occuring at the AXIS engine as overal? Can i
use FAULT messages to deliver businees logic to my client? or the FAULT messages
are only for technical problems in the request/response flow!
If
yes, how can i send as a response a FAULT message ? through a handler i suppose
in the response flow?
Thank
you for your time
