Sorry, you are passing my area of expertise. What we were seeing was we were sending a custom fault, but it was de-serializing as another, random, fault. Not sure what you're looking for here, then.

Re: Problems getting user exceptions to work
We had EXACTLY the same problem! We just found it and found a work-around, but believe this to be a bug in AXIS that should be fixed.

Re: Problems getting user exceptions to work
Hello Jack, I'm afraid I've always used stubs and am not sure how things work in the case of DII. I naively assumed one would still use generated classes (except for the stubs). I reread the section in the JAX-RPC spec and javadoc about it, and this is what I'd expect to happen. DII is for when you dynamically call methods, i.e. you do not know the operation names, parameters, etc. at compile time. This also means you would not know what faults might get thrown. The javadoc explains that the Call.invoke methods throw a SOAPFaultException in case of SOAP faults, and a java.rmi.RemoteException in case of "any error in the remote method invocation". I.e. all checked exceptions that you throw from your endpoint's methods get mapped to these exceptions. The SOAPFaultException class has methods to get information about the actual fault that occurred. You get a RemoteException (AxisFault instance)? I would expect "error in the invocation" to mean errors in calling the method, communication related. Maybe the Axis developer sees user exceptions as "errors in the invocation" and throws a RemoteException instead of a SOAPFaultException? You could try raising this issue on the axis-developers ML. Unfortunately, such questions often do not get replied :( At least I think I understand (and maybe share) part of your frustration now. Good luck, Dies Jack Lund wrote: Thanks for taking the time to answer me so thoroughly. I really, really appreciate it. Dies Koper wrote: I am not sure about meaning of "The exception is no longer a SOAP Fault" in your quote of the User's Guide, as a fault described in the WSDL is still a SOAP fault when it is included in the SOAP body.

Well, from the quote, it looks like they're saying that all you need to do to pass exceptions is a) inherit from Exception, and b) be a javabean whose fields are wsdl-able datatypes. It never mentions that you have to inherit from AxisFault. As you have probably noticed, in this mailing list the recommended approach with Axis seems to be to start with the WSDL (maybe the first draft generated by Java2WSDL). You tweak the WSDL into the service you want, and develop the client and server implementations from there. Axis also allows you to take a different approach, but I would not be surprised if there are more bugs on that path. I still do not understand whether you delete the generated exceptions and use your own. I don't generate exceptions at all. I never do Java2WSDL or WSDL2Java. The service class, data and exceptions are all standard Java classes. Do you want to discuss the validity of Axis's implementation or get your problem solved? I'm fine with either, just want to know how to answer. I apologize for my frustration level. I have no problems with Axis's implementation - what I've been able to see of it is really, really great. My only problem is the lack of documentation, especially in an area as fundamental as exception handling. Please look at the generated interface, javabeans and exception classes as not being part of your client, but part of Axis's WSDL->Java mapping. Your client class does not need to have any dependencies on axis classes. Just catch the InvalidDateException and don't care whether it extends AxisFault internally. It is just a generated class that would be regenerated anyway if you would use a different SOAP engine. I think that's the disconnect we're having here. I'm not generating anything, nor am I interested in generating anything. From what I've been able to see, Axis provides me with the ability to drop a standard Java class into its container, without having to do any code generation, and it will automatically create the service. I've already taken advantage of that, and it works great. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to handle exceptions the same way, which is why I was so confused. What you seem to be saying is that I have to generate the code from the WSDL (or, alternatively, generate the WSDL from the java class and then generate the client and exceptions from the WSDL) in order to have exception handling. Unfortunately, that's not something I can do, because of the architectural and technical constraints of the project. I can write something which intercepts the exceptions before they get to Axis on the server side, and wrap them in an AxisFault, but it will be an enormous pain. I was hoping that Axis would do that. They're obviously already catching exceptions on the server side, and I was hoping that they would just serialize it just as they would any other class going across the wire, which is what I thought that section in the user's guide was saying. Unfortunately, it sounds like this isn't the case. 3) There is no number 3. ;-)

I'm fine with either, just want to know how to answer. What I'm trying to do is this: We've got a service, which is basically a POJO (i.e. no axis-isms or web service-isms) that we're deploying using wsdd (a minimal wsdd) without generating WSDL or any of that. On the client side, I'm creating a dynamic proxy which uses the sample code example to parse the axis-generated WSDL (the one you get from http://foo.com/axis/service/myService?wsdl) and figure out how to call the method and get everything back. Everything works just fine except for exceptions. The WSDL looks fine to me. I do not think it needs editing. I'd rather not extend AxisFault for a couple of reasons: 1) My service right now has no knowledge that it's running within Axis, or even that it's a web service. I'd like to keep it that way Please look at the generated interface, javabeans and exception classes as not being part of your client, but part of Axis's WSDL->Java mapping. Your client class does not need to have any dependencies on axis classes. Just catch the InvalidDateException and don't care whether it extends AxisFault internally.

I can't assume that they're going to throw exceptions which inherit from AxisFault. If you choose to use Axis DII or stubs, then they will. But your client does not need to know. 3) There is no number 3. ;-) Maybe later? :) It doesn't make much sense to me that axis would have this wonderful mechanism whereby we can install a fairly arbitrary Java class and turn it magically into a web service...unless you throw exceptions, in which case all bets are off.

Re: Problems getting user exceptions to work
Hello Jack, As Jarmo pointed out, all client-side (generated) exceptions extend AxisFault. Are you not using the generated exceptions? The WSDL defines the interface, including the faults. Either you let Axis do the mapping to Java using its own generated classes, or you do not. I don't think Axis could do its job without them. There is no need to catch an AxisFault first and then doing an instanceof. Jarmo must have written that code before he had his coffee ;) Your client does not (and should not) need to know that AxisFault is being used internally. Could you show us the WSDL that defines your fault (complexType + , etc.), the SOAP response containing the fault, and the code you use to catch the exception?

What little is said on the axis website about this implies that it should "just work", but it doesn't seem to - what I get on the other side is an AxisFault with the message string from my exception embedded inside. Is there something special I have to do, on either side, to get this to work? Thanks. -Jack _ Don’t just search. Find.
