In follow up to my own question :P (after reading around for the 10th time).

Is it possible to define an alternative response type alongside your normal
types. i.e.

 <complexType name="CompositeType">
   <choice>
        <element name="MyDesiredObject" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"
type="tns:MyObject"/>
        <element name="NastyString" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"
type="soapenc:string"/>
    </choice>
 </complexType>

<message name="PO">
   <part name="composite" type="tns:Composite"/>
</message>

i.e. MyDesiredObject is "if everything went ok" I would get one of these
back fully populated etc.
Or if an AxisFault was thrown, it would be caught(server side) and the
server alters the message(this bit I have no clue about) and returns a
NastyString with the faultString inside.

Thanks
Chris

Hello all -

I am fairly new to Webservices and Axis but have managed ok so far.
Currently using Tomcat 5.5.9, Tiger(1.5), Axis 1.3 final.

I have created a service that has a request flow defined like :

<service name="LookupService" provider="java:RPC" style="rpc" use="encoded">
    <requestFlow>
     <handler type="DBAuthentication"/>
     <handler type="SimpleAuthorisation"/>
    </requestFlow>
.
.
.
</service>

The handlers are defined as :

 	<!-- define an authorisation handler --> 
 	 <handler name="DBAuthentication"
type="java:com.blah.webservices.handler.AuthenticationHandler"/>
 	 <handler name="SimpleAuthorisation"
type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.SimpleAuthorizationHandler">
 	   	<parameter name="allowByDefault" value="true"/>
 	 </handler>


This is working fine. But I want to understand how to make it behave
slightly differently.

So my question is :

Inside the "org.apache.axis.handlers.SimpleAuthorizationHandler" invoke
method.
It checks for  
if (user == null)
            throw new AxisFault("Server.NoUser",
                    Messages.getMessage("needUser00"), null, null);

Is it possible to catch this/all AxisFault server side and have it returned
to the client as a substituted String? 
Or even just the getFaultString() message as a String?

thanks
Chris
