We are currently in the testing phase of a document style web services application. The application is required to return a soap fault when certain conditions are not met e.g. failure on XML schema validation of attached XML document. What we currently do in a fault situation is that we throw an AxisFault, setting the fault code, fault string etc. What we expected was the Fault element would be returned in the body of the SOAP response message. This is not the case, there is no SOAP response message when a fault occurs, we can only get access to the fault code, fault string etc. set in the web services at point of failure by catching the exception on the client and extracting the relevant fields. Is there anyway of sending back the fault element in the body of the SOAP response message, without your client crashing out with an exception that you would have to trap?
