You should only throw SOAPException's from Java class representing a SOAP service.
SOAPExceptions are translated into SOAP Fault codes and text. You can also incorporate
your 'UnknownUserException' into a SOAPException.

Subject: Exception handling
Doesnt Apache SOAP toolkit handle application-level exceptions?
i.e., if I have a method with the following signature:
public User getUserDetails(String id) throws UnknownUserException
and the UnknownUserException is thrown by the method, shouldn't this
exception be wrapped into a Fault object and sent across to the client? ...
doesnt seem to be happening. All I get is a "null".
Am using Apache SOAP 2.1 with Weblogic.
any ideas? am i missing something?
