Probelm concerning String serialization of Excpetions

[michael . knuemann1]

Hi!

I've encountered a serious problem in case throwing an exception.
The exception is thrown within a service call and should be transport to the
soapclient.
It is serialized within a FAULT tag as shown below:

...
<faultstring>
SGTEXC_MEXC_CODE: ENA2_0002
SGTEXC_MEXC_INFO: Requested currency <EUR> differes from policy currency
<DEM>
</faultstring> 
<faultactor>/soap/servlet/rpcrouter</faultactor> 
<detail> 
<stackTrace> 
SGTEXC_MEXC_CODE: ENA2_0002 SGTEXC_MEXC_SEVERITY: 8 
SGTEXC_MEXC_INFO: Requested currency &amp;lt;EUR&amp;gt; differes from
policy currency &amp;lt;DEM&amp;gt; 
...


My problem is, that the exception message string contains "<" and ">"
characters. In the <detail> part of the soap message this characters are
serialized
to &gt; and &lt; but in the <faultstring> they aren't translated. This
causes a crimpson parser exception, and the exception I want to show to the
client is invisible.

As a work around I translate the strings before creation of an exception. 
Is there any reason to handle the faulstring and the detail part
different??? Or is that something which belongs on the buglist?

Michael
