Soap Fault Explanation

[Marco Spinetti]

Hi,

I'm developing a soap web service with axis (my configuration is apache
+ tomcat with axis).

In some circumstances my web services has to create a SOAP fault which
has to be sent to the client.

I'm a a bit confused with Axis management of SOAP fault (I've tried to
read email in mailing list but without success too).

I've declared my Exception:

public class DoMyException  extends org.apache.axis.AxisFault 
implements java.io.Serializable {
    private int codice;
    private java.lang.String stringa;

    public DoMyException() {
    }

    public DoMyException(
           int codice,
           java.lang.String stringa) {
        this.codice = codice;
        this.stringa = stringa;
    }
.......
 }

In my web services method, in some circumstances, I throw such
exception:

public MySearchResult doMySearch(java.lang.String query) throws
java.rmi.RemoteException, DoMyException {
        
        ......

        try {
                if (cond) {
                        throw new DoMyException(1, "Description");
                }
        }
        catch (DoMyException e) {
                ......          
                throw e;
        }
.....
}


When in my test client I try to generate a SOAP fault I don't receive
anything. With SOAPMonitor I see the request SOAP message but not the
response.

My client:

try {
       MySearchService service = new MySearchServiceLocator();
       MySearchPort port = service.getMySearchPort(); 

        .........
       MySearchResult r = port.doMySearch(query);

        .....
}
catch (DoMyException e) {
     System.err.println("Cod  = " + e.getCodice());
     System.err.println("String = " + e.getStringa());
     System.exit(1);
}


Probably I'm making some mistakes but I don't see where.

Any help would be very useful.

Thanks


Bye
