In general, you cannot send arbitrary exceptions to remote clients, since Axis (or most other client/server communication protocols) has no idea how to serialize/deserialize an arbitrary exception that you might have created so that it can be transmitted to a remote client. You should probably only be sending subclasses of RemoteException, and probably should include very limited, if any, additional information in the exception class itself. I suggest that you make sure that your TestException extends RemoteException, not just Exception.
I am not sure how this works if a RemoteException has a 'cause' field which is not a RemoteException. I am not an expert in what RemoteException is capable of, but I think I know enough to understand that what you are trying to do (throw an exception that is not derived from RemoteException from server to client) is not, in general, possible.
