RE: session, handler problem

[Pathuru, Kiran]

Hi Chris,

I was doing it something like this now,

                    if(session == null) {
                            log.info("session does not exist");
                            throw new AxisFault("Server.noSession",
                                            "Session does not
exist",null,null);
                    }
                    else
if(!"true".equals((String)session.get("validUser"))) {
                            log.info("user is not valid");
                            throw new AxisFault("Server.invalidUser",
                                            "User is not valid",null,null);
                    }

This code I have written in a request handler and then I have another
handler one level down and as soon as
this exception arises, in the onFault method of handler, I am trying to
modify the SOAP message. I am removing the SOAPBody and then trying to
construct with my message again. But I am failing here because of my lack of
knowledge. 

Do you think this is the correct approach?

my onFault method looks something like:

 SOAPEnvelope env = MessageContext.getSOAPEnvelope();
            //clear the body
            env.getBody().detachNode();

            //create new body element
            env.addBody();

            javax.xml.soap.Name name =
env.createName("testSecurityResponse","bla","http://soap.bla.com";);
            env.addBodyElement(new
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPBodyElement(name));

I am not really sure how to add the attributes to this. Can anyone correct
if I am doing something wrong here.

Thanks

Kiran - 

have you considered embedding the custom message inside the SOAP fault as a
detail element or as a custom exception?
