Hello all. Hopefully someone can help me here.
I want to have an exception returned to the caller of an exposed SOAP
method, so I'm making the following call:
throw new SOAPException(Constants.FAULT_CODE_SERVER, <error
message>);
An exception makes it back to the caller, but it's more something about the
content of the response being in HTML, not XML. On our side, which is a
WebLogic server using Apache SOAP, I get the following in the WebLogic
output:
<Jan 6, 2004 11:42:44 AM PST> <Error> <HTTP> <101018>
<[ServletContext(id=1223009,name=soap,context-path=/soap)] Servlet failed
with ServletException
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error building response envelope:

I don't know why this NPE is happening on my server-side, or why they're not
simply seeing a SOAPException on the client side.. I'd appreciate any help
you could give me.
Thanks,
Fred Fluharty
