Handling SOAP faults

Question

hello,
I created a java control which calls an external webservice. How do you handle
SOAP fault messages coming back from the webservice?
Weblogic just throws an java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException since it
cannot parse the expected XML message.
For example, when I call Logon() via the java control. The WebService should
reply with a LogonResult object(in xml format). However, if there's an error,
the WebService returns a SOAP Fault message. Since this fault message is not
in the format of the expected LogonResult xml schema, weblogic throws an error
(since it cannot create the LogonResult object) and the caller just receives the
UndeclaredThrowableException without knowing any of the contents within the SOAP
Fault.
I'd like to be able to send back the SOAP fault content back to the calling function.
I've tried throwing an exception from the java control handler, but it gets swallowed
up by the SOAP Handler so I still get an exception with no content.
any info is appreciated.
thanks,
Tom

Hi,
Do you get answer for that?
I had similar problem and solved this in this way:
In this java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException handler is possible to get also SoapFault back:
catch (java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException e){
RemoteException re = (RemoteException).getUndeclaredThrowable();
ServiceControlException sfe = (ServiceControlException)re.getCause();
SoapFault fault = sfe.getSoapFault();
XmlObject[] objs = fault.getDetailContents();
// more procssing here to get Soap detailed error
Maybe this helps.
