Hello, I've searched the list for answers to this issue and I haven't
been able to find any satisfactory ones.
I'm having trouble getting "Service Specific Exceptions" as defined in
the JAX-RPC specification to work properly. If I define a custom
exception and have it extend RemoteException, then it works properly.
However, if it simply extends Exception, then I end up with an AxisFault
in my client, rather than an instance of the thrown exception.
For example, here is my exception definition:
package test;
public class TestException extends Exception implements
java.io.Serializable {
private String message;
public TestException() {
super();
}
public TestException(String message) {
setMessage(message);
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
}
I have a service with a method "testException" whose definition in the
service interface is:
public void testException() throws RemoteException, TestException;
And the implementation looks like this:
public void testException() throws TestException {
throw new TestException("This is the TestException message");
}
If I execute the "testException" method in a client in the above case.
I get back an org.apache.axis.AxisFault with the following stack trace
on the client (run from a JUnit test):
AxisFault
faultCode:
{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: test.TestException: This is the TestException message
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:
{}test.TestException:<message xsi:type="soapenc:string"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>This is the
TestException message</message>
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}hostname:localhostname
test.TestException: This is the TestException message

However, if I change TestException so that it extends RemoteException,
then a TestException rather than the above AxisFault is thrown to my
client. This is the behaviour I'm looking for, but I don't want my
service specific exceptions to extend RemoteException. I'm puzzled as
to why this is happening. Are RemoteExceptions handled differently than
regular Exceptions in Axis even though the JAX-RPC specification states
that they should be supported?
I didn't include my server-deploy.wsdd file or my WSDL files in this
email. I can include the relevant parts of those if that would help.
In my client and on the server I've got TestException set up to be
serialized and deserialized using the BeanSerializerFactory (and
BeanDeserializerFactory) which I believe is correct.
If anybody has any insight into why Exceptions don't work but
RemoteExceptions do, I would really appreciate it. I've been trying to
figure this out for a while now :)
Thanks in advance for your time,
Eric Westfall
