Well, the basic reason is that to check for a fault, it needs to look at the first element in the body. The headers and envelop and such are handled in the PROTOCOL phase, thus, it needs to be checked afterword. > The net result is handleFault() is never called for a client-side JAX-WS > SOAPHandler, as the CheckFaultInterceptor (which is responbile for > determining if a fault is present in the incoming message) is assigned to a > phase that runs *after* the PRE_PROTOCOL phase in which the JAX-WS handler > chain is traversed.

(before committing any change in this area, let me know and I'll run the tck on it). The handleFault may be for handling faults that are generated as part of processing the normal message. I'd need to double check on that. > So before I go fixing this I wanted to check if this apparent mis-ordering > was just an oversight, or whether there's method to the madness :) That all said, I've THOUGHT about adding a HttpErrorCodeInterceptor or something that goes very early in the chain to flip it over to the faultInChain if the response code is 500. That could be done LONG before any processing of anything else is done. Obviously only useful for HTTP transport though. The current implementation means that any stream related things only on the faultInChain wouldn't ever get called. Flipping over based on response code would fix that. -- Daniel Kulp [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dankulp.com/blog
