Hi -- I tried to create an improvement JIRA for this, but I don't seem
to have access. Sorry for the way the proposal is arriving. Thanks for
looking at this.
This is a proposal for an enhancement to make exceptions generated by
CXF wsdl2java easier to use. The exceptions that CXF generates for WSDL
soap faults with web service clients (e.g. input validations, etc) are
less than helpful. The main reason I say that is that all meaningful
information somebody would need to solve the issue/ wsdl soap fault
causing the exception is placed by Cxf in a FaultInfo field not natively
reported in the exception CXF generates using wsdl2java. To get useful
information out of a Cxf-generated exception takes custom code. This can
become a lot of custom code if the service you are consuming defines a
large number of fault types.
If you like the idea, I'll be happy to migrate it into your code base
and attach a formal patch. I would need some guidance on which maven
project this should be included with. I did review proposed enhancements
and didn't see this.
The proposal is that you provide exceptions for soap faults that include
this useful field information in the message by default. A sample
exception log entry for this improved exception contains the useful
information people need. An example follows:
com.postini.pstn.soapapi.v2.automatedbatch.BatchException_Exception:
exception message
Exception Context:
[1:cxfclient.message=embedded cxf info]

I've open-sourced this project and associated code here, but it really
belongs as a part of the CXF project somewhere:
https://github.com/Force66/CxfExceptionUtils. Note that this solution
does utilize the Apache Commons Lang library.
More details around the concept used can be found on my blog here:

I'll reiterate that ff you like the idea, I'll be happy to migrate it
into your code base and attach a formal patch. I'm willing to do the work.
