NullPointerException in SOAPFault

[Oliver Adler]

Hi,

I' ve defined a service which does NOT throw a exception. But the handler in the global
handler chain could throw exceptions. If that happens I got a NullPointerException at
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFault line 184

My handler exceptions extend AxisFault and so the following code is invoked:
....
if (! cls.equals(AxisFault.class)) {
 FaultDesc faultDesc =
  context.getMessageContext().getOperation().getFaultByClass(cls);
 qname = faultDesc.getQName();
}

Because my service does not throw a exception the getFaultByClass(cls) call could not find a
FaultDesc and returns null.

Does anybody know if this is a bug in the code or am I wrong whith the handling of axis ?

Regards

Oliver
