Test Fail when Exception implements Serializable

[José Manuel Prieto]

HI,

I Test with Jetty my CXF service implementation.
At the end I comment the method "convertFaultBean", of class
org.apache.cxf.interceptor.ClientFaultConverter.

My test method is:
...
@Test
public void testMyWebService() {
try {
String address = "http://localhost:9000/ServiciosDocumento";;
JaxWsServerFactoryBean svrFactory = new JaxWsServerFactoryBean();
svrFactory.setServiceClass(ServiciosDocumento.class);
svrFactory.setAddress(address);
svrFactory.setServiceBean(serviciosDocumentoClass);
svrFactory.create();

JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceClass(ServiciosDocumento.class);
factory.setAddress(address);
ServiciosDocumento client = (ServiciosDocumento) factory.create();

Documento doc = client.obtenerDocumento("1", 1);
Assert.assertNotNull(doc);
} catch (ServiceException e) {
Assert.assertTrue(ExceptionUtils.getRootCauseMessage(e), false);
}
}
...

Error in console:

13:06:56.872 [main] INFO  o.a.c.i.ClientFaultConverter - Exception occurred
while creating exception: Can not set static final long field
es.trafico.scgd.comun.exception.ServiceException.serialVersionUID to

org.apache.cxf.interceptor.ClientFaultConverter.convertFaultBean(ClientFaultConverter.java:348)
[cxf-core-3.1.4.jar:3.1.4]
...

My exception class, implements Serializable:

@WebFault(faultBean = "es.trafico.scgd.comun.dto.ServiceExceptionDetails",
name = "ServiceExceptionDetails", targetNamespace = "
http://scgd.trafico.es/servicios";)
public class ServiceException extends Exception implements Serializable {

/**
* UID
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 9179138257757325575L;
private ServiceExceptionDetails faultInfo;

public ServiceException(String message) {
super(message);
}
...

The class org.apache.cxf.interceptor.ClientFaultConverter:
in the method:

    private Exception convertFaultBean(Class<?> exClass, Object faultBean,
Fault fault) throws Exception {
        Constructor<?> constructor = exClass.getConstructor(new
Class[]{String.class});
// my coment: all Exception must be a constructor with String. I dont know
why.
        Exception e = (Exception)constructor.newInstance(new
Object[]{fault.getMessage()});

        //Copy fault bean fields to exception
        for (Class<?> obj = exClass; !obj.equals(Object.class);  obj =
obj.getSuperclass()) {
            Field[] fields = obj.getDeclaredFields();
            for (Field f : fields) {
                try {
                    Field beanField =
faultBean.getClass().getDeclaredField(f.getName());
// my comment: should be an IF, question about parameter: if has get/set or
if it is "static final"
                    ReflectionUtil.setAccessible(beanField);
                    ReflectionUtil.setAccessible(f);
                    f.set(e, beanField.get(faultBean));
// my comment: ¿why try to set a private field serialVersionUID?
                } catch (NoSuchFieldException e1) {
                    //do nothing
                }
            }
        }

Thanks in advance.
