In your service, declare that a specific method throws an exception and a
fault entry will be created for you.
Real world example:
public String getAssetHostname(int assetId) throws AssetNotFoundException {
}
and the associated WSDL:
<wsdl:message name="AssetNotFoundException">
<wsdl:part name="fault" type="tns1:AssetNotFoundException"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:message name="getAssetHostnameRequest">
<wsdl:part name="assetId" type="xsd:int"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:message name="getAssetByHostnameResponse">
<wsdl:part name="getAssetByHostnameReturn" type="tns2:Asset"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:operation name="getAssetHostname" parameterOrder="assetId">
<wsdl:input message="impl:getAssetHostnameRequest" name
="getAssetHostnameRequest"/>
<wsdl:output message="impl:getAssetHostnameResponse" name
="getAssetHostnameResponse"/>
<wsdl:fault message="impl:AssetNotFoundException" name
="AssetNotFoundException"/>
</wsdl:operation>

Subject: RPC & Faults
Good afternoon,
According to the WSDL specification, faults are defined as follows for a
request/response operation:
-------------------------------------
<wsdl:definitions .... >
<wsdl:portType .... > *
<wsdl:operation name="nmtoken" parameterOrder="nmtokens">
<wsdl:output name="nmtoken"? message="qname"/>
<wsdl:input name="nmtoken"? message="qname"/>
<wsdl:fault name="nmtoken" message="qname"/>*
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType >
</wsdl:definitions>
-------------------------------------
So, I'm assuming that I can specify my own type of fault and feed it to the
wsdl:fault element, ie:
-------------------------------------
<complexType name="corysfault">
<sequence>
<element name="someInfo" type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="moreInfo" type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
-------------------------------------
My question is this -- where do I need to start in order to pull this off
via an rpc/encoded service where Axis is handling all the
marshalling/unmarshalling of soap encoded messages into java types? Is
there a facility to return an unchecked Axis exception that's constructed
according the schema I've defined above? I'm imagining some sort of object
that I pass to some Axis utility to throw an exception perhaps?
-------------------------------------
CorysFault {
private String someInfo;
private String moreInfo;
public CorysFault() {
}
public get/set someInfo
public get/set moreInfo
}
-------------------------------------
Seems like this would be quite easy to pull off if I was using the message
provider, but alas, I'm not.
Thanks in advance for any input,
Cory
