What the SOAP spec says is that a SOAPfault XML document needs to be returned in the errorStream and a response code of 500 returned.
Sending a response 500 is easy, including a response message is also easy. But, what is included in the response message is not written to the errorStream. Tomcat seems to write whatever is generated by the error-page directive in the deployment descriptor to the error-stream, so I have currently solved the problem by passing the SOAPfault document through the session variable to the designated jsp listed in the error-page directive. It just seems that this is a hackery way to do it, and my servlet should be able to write directly to the errorStream of the response, I just can't see how. Any assistance is appreciated.
