RE: Help in Exception handling...

[Vikas Phonsa]

Christophe,

I am doing the exact same thing. Can u post a sample soap message returned
to the client when an exception has been thrown by the web service.

When I throw an exception after setting its method to a relevant value, I
also get the stack trace in my SOAP message. I just want the message.

I was only able to have exceptions extending RemoteException to be
deserialized correctly (not as an AxisFault).

Here is the way I do it:

In the wsdl I have,

In types:

<complexType name="MyException">
    <sequence>
     <element name="cause" nillable="true" type="xsd:anyType"/>
     <element name="message" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
    </sequence>
</complexType>

<wsdl:message name="MyException">
      <wsdl:part name="fault" type="tns:MyException"/>
 </wsdl:message>

In portType:

<wsdl:operation name="myop"
        ...
     <wsdl:fault message="impl:MyException" name="MyException"/>
</wsdl:operation>

Java side:

public class MyException extends RemoteException implements Serializable {
  private String _mess;
  
  // ==============
  // Constructors
  // ==============
  
  public MyException() {
    super();
  }
  
  public MyException(String message) {
    super(message);
  }
  
  Public MyException(Throwable e) {
    super(e.getMessage());
    super.initCause(e);
  }
  
  // ================
  // Public methods
  // ================ 
  
  // no setter method in RemoteException, needed for Soap.
  public void setMessage(String mess) {
    _mess = mess;
  }
  
  // overrides the RemoteException method.
  public String getMessage() {
    return (_mess == null) ? super.getMessage() : _mess;
  }

}
