Yes, so general guidelines should be something like - Numbers should be the ones available in the spec. - Messages should be a more user friendly message, compared to the sometime complicated messages from spec BTW, what's your goal here by adding these messages to the error messages ? Maybe one thing that could help us make the decision is to check what other frameworks usually do ? If you are using a Java EE or WS spec, do they show messages with spec related error codes ? -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://lresende.blogspot.com/
