Hi everybody,

What I have observed is that the Axis2 interpretation of subcodes is not 
compliant with the SOAP 1.2 spec (ref. 
http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/#faultsubcodeelement).  

Currently, if we look into the org.apache.axis2.util.MessageContextBuilder 
createFaultEnvelope(MessageContext context, Throwable e) method we will see 
that when List faultSubCodes is iterated the subcode is set to the Code with 
the following lines:

                    SOAPFactory sf = (SOAPFactory)envelope.getOMFactory();
                    SOAPFaultSubCode soapFaultSubCode = 
sf.createSOAPFaultSubCode(fault.getCode());
                    SOAPFaultValue saopFaultValue = 
sf.createSOAPFaultValue(fault.getCode());
                    saopFaultValue.setText(faultSubCodeQName);
                    soapFaultSubCode.setValue(saopFaultValue);
                    fault.getCode().setSubCode(soapFaultSubCode);

In fact only the first subcode should be added to the fault.getCode() (, or 
<soapenv:Code>) then every next one should be added to the preceding subcode 
(,or <soapenv:Subcode> - in other words its parent one subcode).
I did a fix locally and it works for me. Without the fix every next subcode 
replaces the previous one appended to the <soapenv:Code>. At the end the last 
one wins and it is set as the single one subcode to the <soapenv:Code> element.

Here is a sample of a SOAP 1.2 Fault with two subcodes using the fix. Without 
the fix the second subcode will replace the one appended to the <soapenv:Code> 
which is not correct:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
    <soapenv:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing";>
        <wsa:Action>http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault</wsa:Action>
        <wsa:RelatesTo>urn:uuid:1E5867D19D085C6BCB1231847612132</wsa:RelatesTo>
    </soapenv:Header>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <soapenv:Fault xmlns:axis2ns2="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
            <soapenv:Code>
                <soapenv:Value>axis2ns2:Sender</soapenv:Value>
                <soapenv:Subcode>
                    <soapenv:Value 
xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd";>wsse:MyException</soapenv:Value>
                    <soapenv:Subcode>
                        <soapenv:Value 
xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd";>wsse:InvalidSecurity</soapenv:Value>
                    </soapenv:Subcode>
                </soapenv:Subcode>
            </soapenv:Code>
            <soapenv:Reason>
                <soapenv:Text xml:lang="en-US">Cannot load password callback 
class: com.softwareag.wsstack.pwcb.PasswordPWCBHandler</soapenv:Text>
            </soapenv:Reason>
            <soapenv:Detail/>
        </soapenv:Fault>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Thank you,
Dobri
