exceptions handling with Webservices
Hie. Here is my problem : I have a webservice defined in an OpenEJB server (embedded CXF and JAXB-WS) This webservice declares a method that throws a checked exception that is declared as a @WebFault. When the client calls the server and when the webmethod sends an exception, the client receives a generic SoapFaultException with an ApplicationException inside. I expected my client to receive my business checked exception... After having investigated a little bit, it appears that the WebFaultOutInterceptor class in the bundled CXF version works as follow : When a fault is generated, it gets the cause. If the cause (or one of it's parents) is annotated as a WebFault, a SOAP Fault containing the correct webfault is formatted and sent and the client receives the correct checked exception type as a result. If not, it formats a default SOAP Fault with the message of the exception. So the client receives a generic SOAPFaultException. If I use CXF as a standalone server without OpenEJB, my exception is correctly catched in the WebFaultOutInterceptor and as it is @WebFault anotated, formats the corresponding soap fault. In OpenEJB, when the exception appears on the server, the Stateless container catches it, processes it and chains it to the transaction manager which in the end throws a new ApplicationException with my exception as a cause. But what the WebFaultOutInterceptor receives in this case is an ApplicationException, which is NOT a @WebFault. So the interceptor proceses this exception as a generic non-checked exception. Hence the non typed exception on the client side... Having realized that I tried to skip the new ApplicationException generation by 1- marking my stateless webservice as nontransactional @Stateless @WebService(...) @TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN) @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED) class MyClass ... 2 - marking my exception as @ApplicationException as it was my understanding of the specifications that @ApplicationException should be re-thrown by the container as-is... both actions where desperately useless... So what can I do to have my server sending checked types ? Thanks anyway for the time you will spend on that problem. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/exceptions-handling-with-Webservices-tp19668275p19668275.html Sent from the OpenEJB User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Fwd: Application Period Opens for Travel Assistance to ApacheCon US 2008
Begin forwarded message: Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Gavin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: September 25, 2008 8:36:44 AM CDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Application Period Opens for Travel Assistance to ApacheCon US 2008 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear PMCs, Please could you forward the below message to your user@ and dev@ mailing lists, thanks in advance. - The Travel Assistance Committee is taking in applications for those wanting to attend ApacheCon US 2008 between the 3rd and 7th November 2008 in New Orleans. The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to be able to attend ApacheCon US 2008 who need some financial support in order to get there. There are VERY few places available and the criteria is high, that aside applications are open to all open source developers who feel that their attendance would benefit themselves, their project(s), the ASF and open source in general. Financial assistance is available for flights, accomodation and entrance fees either in full or in part, depending on circumstances. It is intended that all our ApacheCon events are covered, so it may be prudent for those in Europe and or Asia to wait until an event closer to them comes up - you are all welcome to apply for ApacheCon US of course, but there must be compelling reasons for you to attend an event further away that your home location for your application to be considered above those closer to the event location. More information can be found on the main Apache website at http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html - where you will also find a link to the application form and details for submitting. Time is very tight for this event, so applications are open now and will end on the 2nd October 2008 - to give enough time for travel arrangements to be made. Good luck to all those that will apply. Regards, The Travel Assistance Committee
