RE: HTTP code 500 in wsdl:fault return

[Anne Thomas Manes]

The HTTP 500 status code is mandated by the SOAP specification.   See http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383529   “In case of a SOAP error while processing the request, the SOAP HTTP server MUST issue an HTTP 500 "Internal Server Error" response and include a SOAP message in the response containing a SOAP Fault element (see section 4.4) indicating the SOAP processing error.”   Anne   From: Daniel Amadei [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 9:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HTTP code 500 in wsdl:fault return   Hi All, Is there something that mandates a 500 return when a SOAP/HTTP web service returns a Server.userException (a wsdl:fault representing an application exception)? Can I change Axis without having to recompile, to return 200 when application exceptions are thrown? Is there any specific reason for the 500 return in this situation or is this implementation specific to Axis? Thanks for any help. Daniel C. Amadei Yahoo!
