Error handling improvements for invalid Soap message content
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-2824
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2824
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JAX-WS Runtime
    Affects Versions: 2.2.6
            Reporter: EasternWahoo


Soap web services clients may send garbage or invalid messages to our CXF jaxws 
web service.  For example, the message may consist of a valid soap envelope, 
but the soap body is empty. On other occasions, the soap body contains non-xml 
content.

CXF gets nullpointer exceptions in these cases, and returns a generic Soap 
fault, "Fault occurred while processing".  Shouldn't the framework be able to 
provide a more useful message, such as "malformed xml content", and not fail on 
a nullpointer exception?  

Below is a stack trace generated for a Soap Envelope containing an empty body:  
 <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body></soapenv:Body>
