This sounds like some great new functionality. Would be fantastic to
have JAX-WS support.

I'm fixing the exception behavior but I need to be sure.
In the EJB specification, we can receive :
- ApplicationException:
- checked exception declared in the method signature
- runtime exception + @ApplicationException
- SystemException
- everything else
For web service, the specification is not as clear. My understanding
is:
- a WebFault is a checked exception with the @WebFault annotation. The
client will then receive the business checked exception.
- everything else is returned to the client as a SOAPFaultException
So for checked exception EJB and WS calls are equivalent but what
about EJB
ApplicationException based on RuntimeException +
@ApplicationException ?
I would guess that any exception annotated with @ApplicationException
would be treated as if it was annotated with @WebFault. Not sure if
there are limitations that would prevent that, but it seems like the
most intuitive approach.
That said I don't this are one of my stronger areas of expertise, so
I'm pretty open either way. What thoughts did you have?
