Hi, I'm a relative newcomer to Axis2 and this is my first encounter with this list. I'm pretty sure this is a question you've had time-and-again, although I've had no joy in the list archives - I probably don't know the correct terminology to frame my question.
I am using Axis2 to support web-services. I define these through WSDL/XSD and use wsdl2java to generate Java classes (ADBs?) for request/response types, then write web-service code in Java to process them. I'm trying to add some restrictions to my XSDs and have the ADBs process them, but I'm not getting quite the behaviour I expect. I've tried adding a couple of type restrictions to my web-services: [1] A Yes/No type that is a string with an enumeration restriction; [2] A star-rating type that is a number from 1-5 inclusive. Here's the XSD snippet for the latter: <xsd:simpleType name="Rating"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:int"> <xsd:minInclusive value="1" /> <xsd:maxInclusive value="5" /> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> Using soapUI I can test that my services work for correct values, and indeed they do. However, when I enter a value that violates one of my restrictions I get a simple axis fault message with the following: <soapenv:Fault <faultcode>soapenv:Server</faultcode> <faultstring>unknown</faultstring> </soapenv:Fault> What I'd like to do is make the "unknown" part more meaningful in light of these restrictions, similar to its behaviour if I omit a required element: <soapenv:Fault> <faultcode>soapenv:Server</faultcode <faultstring>org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement thisIsRequired</faultstring> </soapenv:Fault> For instance, entering 6 for a star rating might give: <soapenv:Fault> <faultcode>soapenv:Server</faultcode <faultstring>WhateverException: 1 <= "rating" <= 6 violated: found 6</faultstring> </soapenv:Fault> I realise I can configure axis2.xml to include stacktraces, but they are of limited use because the exceptions generated for these restrictions (IllegalArgumentException for YesNo; RuntimeException for Rating) don't seem to have meaningful error messages. Is it possible to improve these exception messages and/or the faultstring messages for restrictions? (... without doing the validation manually in Java) Many thanks, David -- David Brooks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@axis.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@axis.apache.org
