Interesting….   I would have expected CXF to generate the "message" element at 
least.   Although I guess that is redundant with the fault:message that would 
already be there.

The main issue I have with not checking for setters is that we'd have no way to 
use the fault on the client side.  Since CXF (and JAX-WS) generally tries to 
make the same set of classes usable on the server and client side, that would 
suck.    Thus, we could generate the two elements, on the server side we could 
use that to generate the fault message, but when the client receives the 
message, we would not be able to map the "info" and "message" elements into 
anything that could be put into the exception that is thrown back to the 
client.  Thus, that information would be discarded.   That bothers me.
