binding custom exceptions using JAXB

[Arul Dhesiaseelan]

Hi,

I am returning a custom exception as part of my web service method.
@WebService
public class PingService {

@WebMethod
 public CustomException getException() {
 }

@WebMethod
 public void ping() {
 } 

}

My CustomException class looks like:

public class CustomException extends Exception {
}

I was looking at the bug report 
https://jaxb.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=216. But, not sure if 
this supports custom exceptions.

I tried using

@XmlTransient
public class CustomException extends Exception {
}

But, I still get the ServiceConstructionException :

Caused by: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 
counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions
java.lang.StackTraceElement does not have a no-arg default constructor.
   this problem is related to the following location:
       at java.lang.StackTraceElement
       at public java.lang.StackTraceElement[] 
java.lang.Throwable.getStackTrace()
       at java.lang.Throwable
       at java.lang.Exception
       at java.io.IOException

I have asked the same question in JAXB forum as it is more relevant 
there, but not sure if I will get a response as that forum is mostly 
inactive.

I appreciate if someone could clarify this behavior.

Thanks!
Arul
