I am currently working on porting a C++ soap client from the rather aged MS Soap Toolkit to Axis2C. To start with this will run on Windows but part of the exercise is to get our system ported to Linux. For the most part the port was fairly straight-forward and I am getting good results with my unit tests.
However, there is one situation I haven't quite figured out yet - handling of Soap Faults. My unit test "SoapExceptionsService" returns the following (taken from SoapUI output). <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <soap:Body> <soap:Fault> <faultcode xmlns:q0="http://www.cc.com/SoapExceptionService ">q0:SoapExceptionService</faultcode> <faultstring>System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: This is the FaultString at SoapExceptionService.Service1.HelloWorld(RequestInput ri)</faultstring> <faultactor>http://www.cc.com/SoapExceptionService</faultactor> <detail> <DetailMessage>This is the Detail section</DetailMessage> </detail> </soap:Fault> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> Using the MS Soap Toolkit there are methods returning all the separate pieces of the exception: FaultActor = "http://www.cc.com/SoapExceptionService"; FaultCode = "SoapExceptionService" FaultCodeNamespace = "http://www.cc.com/SoapExceptionService"; FaultDetail = "<detail><DetailMessage>This is the Detail section</DetailMessage></detail>" FaultString = "System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: This is the FaultString at SoapExceptionService.Service1.HelloWorld(RequestInput ri)" However, using Axis2C (I tried both 1.6 and latest 1.7 code from SVN) only returns a subset of these fields. Fault Code: (null) Exception: (null) Reason: (null) Role: http://www.cc.com/SoapExceptionService Detail xml: <detail><DetailMessage>This is the Detail section</DetailMessage></detail> If I retrieve the fault base node and serialize it I see the whole fault message so Axis has all the data available. I stepped through function axiom_soap_body_convert_fault_to_soap11() and it appears that the values are found and text elements are created for the missing items but when I try to retrieve them using the axis functions the string values end up being NULL. Example: axis2_char_t *strcodevalue = ""; ::axiom_soap_fault_code *fcode = ::axiom_soap_fault_get_code(fault, env); // returns ok value if (fcode) { ::axiom_soap_fault_value *fcodevalue = ::axiom_soap_fault_code_get_value(fcode, env); // returns ok value if (fcodevalue) { strcodevalue = ::axiom_soap_fault_value_get_text(fcodevalue, env); // return NULL } } I suppose I could manually parse the fault xml but I'd kinda prefer to let the Soap library handle these details. Am I missing something here or just plain oversimplifying things? Any pointers would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Thomas
