SOAPException changes to allow details

Here are some changes that I made that allow the Server Class to throw a
SOAPException and return back a SOAP Fault detail.  It has the happy side
effect of allowing you to also send back your own fault codes.  

I added a vector, details, to SOAPException, and made getters and setter for
it.

I made some changes to rpcrouter.jsp.  Here where the SOAPException is
caught I test the targetException to see if it was a SOAPException and if it
was I set the fault Details to the exceptions details.  I think this clears
up a few bugs.

If you decide to use this use the details you should be careful that the
Vector must be filled only with Elements.

SOAPException changes to allow detailsThis is a needed fix, however, I'd like to visit the reason behind
org.apache.soap.Fault having a vector of elements for the body
of the detail element. That seems overkill .. that should be just
a simple string IMO. Matt ??

If we change that to a string, then the exception can also be
a string and that way we can easily have a default where if there's
no detail set in the exception, the exception -> fault conversion
drops in a stacktrace into the detail element.

What do you think?

Sanjiva.
