SoapException - InnerException is zero

[schachi]

My webservice runs under jboss-net, the client is vb.net.

If the webservice throws an exception, the client shows a SoapException:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: ch.e_act.common.util.EActException: Test
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)
at WindowsApplication1.WebReference1.VerwPartnerBeanService.storePartner(Int32 beratungID, String schluessel, String partner)
at WindowsApplication1.Partner.speichern()

The original error message (ch.e_act.common.util.EActException:Test) was packed into the stacktrace. The InnerException of the
SoapException is zero !

Can anyone tell me where the SoapException is created (axis ?) and how can I forward the original error message to the client?

kind regards

Hello,

if your server is throwing an exception, the exceptions is packed into a soap-fault like this:

 <soapenv:Body>
 <soapenv:Fault>
 <faultcode xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">ns1:Server.userException</faultcode>
 <faultstring>Exception.toString()-Methode called here</faultstring>
 <detail> ...
 </detail>
 </soapenv:Fault>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

so i guess your SOAPException is created by vb.net ... to see the original errormessage you could overwrite the toString() in your Java-Exception.

regards,

now, it works:

Server:

 try {
 ...
 } catch (EActException ex) {
 Element ele[] = new Element[1];
 String xml = "<fault>"
 + "<category>" + ex.getCategory() + "</category>"
 + "<code>" + new Integer(ex.getErrorCode()).toString() + "</code>"
 + "</fault>";
 ele[0] = XMLKit.createDocumentFromString(xml).getDocumentElement();

 throw new AxisFault(new QName( "",""), //?
 ex.getMessage(),
 "info on the actor", //?
 ele);
 }

Client:

Try
 Dim omath As New WebReference1.VerwPartnerBeanService
 omath.storePartner(beratungid, schluessel, xml)

 Catch ex As System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException
 Console.WriteLine("message:>" & ex.Message)
 Console.WriteLine("detail:>" & ex.Detail.InnerXml)
 ...
 End try

Output Client:

message:> test
detail:>
 <fault>
 <category>S</category>
 <code>900</code>
 </fault>
