[xfire-user] exception in dynamic client

[Brice Ruth]

I'm using the dynamic client to test a simple service method that throws an Exception ( testing Faults ). However, the dynamic client throws a NullPointerException in ClientFaultConverter.processFaultDetail(). Here's what my method looks like:

    @WebMethod
    public String throwFault() throws SimpleException {
        throw new SimpleException("An expected error occured.");
    }

SimpleException extends Exception

Here's what my test client looks like:

            client.invoke("throwFault", null);

Here's the wsdl:operation:

<wsdl:operation name="throwFault">
<wsdl:input message="tns:throwFaultRequest" name="throwFaultRequest"/>
<wsdl:output message="tns:throwFaultResponse" name="throwFaultResponse"/>
<wsdl:fault message="tns:SimpleException" name="SimpleException"/>
</wsdl:operation>

And here's the full XFire stacktrace:

13:25:10,900 [main] ERROR Jsr181Test : Exception in testThrowFault()
