Hi All, I've put up this question four times before but could not get an answer. The subject for my earlier mails are as follows :: "Proxy request routing" and "PROXY between the CLIENT and the SERVER". Please take a look for an understanding of the scenario more in detail. I once again present the same here. My SOAP client sends a request to a "proxy" servlet which then should 'forward/redirect' the request to the "RPCRouterServlet" if the user is authenticated to use the deployed SOAP service else the "proxy" servlet should generate a SOAP Envelop with a fault code and a fault string i.e. basically a fault node in the SOAP-ENV. I took a look at the RPCRouterServlet in doing so and in the scenario where the authentication failed threw a SOAPException with a faultcode and a message. From there on I used the exact same code of the RPCRouterServlet to process this exception and generate a SOAP Fault Envelop. Then I write this generated envelop to the response. The problem is that I see a SocketException on the client side. The TcpTunnelGui shows the generated SOAP Envelop which is exactly what I needed but I'm unable to see it on the client side. Below is the listing of the exception that I see on the client side. Any help or insight into this issue is greatly appreciated.
