You're probably will need to make the exception look like a "jaxws generated"
exception to get the collections to work correctly. Basically, define a JAXB
bean that looks like what you want serialized in the details, add a @WebFault
annotation, and add a "bean getFaultDetails()" method that returns that bean.
That bean can have all the lists and such.
