Returning Error Code in Fault Response Message

Question

Hi There,
Here is the background:
We are using Security Interceptor component of BPEL PM for handling security procedures. We have extended the default ACLManager and provided the custom access control checks. The method overridden in the custom sub-class is isAllowedYoExecuteProcess (Signature: public boolean isAllowedToExecuteProcess(BPELProcessId processID, NormalizedMessage normalizedMessage) throws ServerException). This method throws ServerException, whenever there are any errors. ServerException allows to create the error message and error code in its constructor (Signature: public ServerException(java.lang.String message, int errorCode)).
The issue:
We have set the error code and error message and thrown the new ServerException. However when the SoapFault is consumed by a SoapClient (or BPEL console dashboard), we see the fault String like this:
Error while invoking inbound message handler.
An error has occurred while attempting to invoke the inbound message handler class "class com.collaxa.cube.security.Authenticator" for the message "". The exception reported was: Could not apply security [Sample Exception to test SOAP Fault]
The String within the square bracket is what we had in ServerException. However I do not see the error code what I also had in ServerException. Please help me, how the error code needs to be set, so that the same can be retrieved by the Soap Client. Also, is there any way, I can just get the error message what I set (not the above jumbled one)
Thanks & regards,
Krishna

This is "intended" - as we are just called by the engine, and every failure there is wrapped w/o the error code. I would recommend to store the error nr with the message .. and parse that ..
litterally it's String error = message.substring(message.indexOf("Could not apply security ["),message.lastIndexOf("]")))
