One option is to define a custom serializer for your Exception type.
This works but has some issues. It's also a nuisance because you have
to define a serializer for every type of Exception you care about; you
can't just define one for Exception and expect all subclasses to be
treated the same.
Another option is to make a subclass of AxisFault that does what you
want, and then make sure your own service methods only throw this
special type of Exception. I find my code is wrapped like this:
public String myMethod(String input) {
try {
doSomeWork(input);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new MyAxisFault(e);
}
}
This is also a nuisance, but it works. It also leaves me wondering if
I've missed something in Axis or if Axis needs a customization hook it
doesn't have.
