How to return faults

[Shahzad Younas]

Hi,

 

I have a question about how to return a "Fault" message to the client. Lets say I have defined a method:

 

 public shibbolethBrowserSession.shibbolethBrowserSession.VerifySAMLResponseDocument VerifySAML( shibbolethBrowserSession.shibbolethBrowserSession.VerifySAMLRequestDocument requestDoc )
   {             
      //todo implement 
      return null;
   }
  

 

As you can see, it must return a VerifySAMLResponseDocument.

But in my WSDL, i have specified some custom Fault messages. How can I return these instead?

DO i have to change this method to return just an XMLObject? Or, lookign at the printer example, an exception class has been created. When this is thrown, is the fault message actually returned? or does the server side just throw the exception and thats it?

 

Many thanks
