Thanx for the input but this also does not work. Infact no SOAPResponse is generated on the SOAPMonitor. Looks like in case of message style service there are no capabilities to generate SOAPFault which is actually a MUST element by w3c in case of a exception.
These are my observations but if someone has a working example which is MessageStyle based and which propgates exception back to the client using the SOAPFault or AxisFault it will really help me since I am stuck with this grave issue.
