Can't specify SOAP faultcode for exceptions
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-1848
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1848
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JAX-WS Runtime, Soap Binding
    Affects Versions: 2.1.2
            Reporter: Sean Wellington


All exceptions with @WebFault annotation are forced to carry a SOAP faultcode 
of "Server". There is no way to change this.

I traced through the code and the logic in AbstractInvoker seems to be:

1. If the exception is a subclass of Fault, throw it as-is;
2. Otherwise wrap it in a new instance of Fault, and use the faultcode of 
"Server" as a default.

This is fine until the exception bubbles up to WebFaultOutInterceptor, around 
line 94, where it filters out anything that isn't a subclass of exception 
(Fault is a RuntimeException). So the net effect is that the getFaultInfo() 
method is ignored.

The only workaround is to totally roll your own exception responses using the 
DOM APIs via Fault.getDetails(). This is undesirable.
