axis2 client + xfire server + axiom

[Tedman Leung <te...@8020solutions.com>]

I just encountered an oddity which I couldn't find any information on so I figured I'd post this so other people would know.

I'm using xfire 1.2.5 as the server and I'm using axis2 1.1.1 as the client. When I was making my pom.xml I used axiom 1.2.3 (since it was the newest one) intead of the shipped 1.2.2.

With the above configuration (axiom 1.2.3), when xfire throws exceptions/faults, they don't get parsed on the axis client properly. The client seems to get an error instead. If you change the axiom back to 1.2.2, the client received the exceptions/faults properly. I'm not sure if it's a bug in axiom 1.2.3 or maybe just a bug fix... what ever the case, people might want to be aware of this. (hopefully this will now show up in peoples web searches... took me a while to find the problem).

The following is the error using axiom 1.2.3 and the expected exception using axiom 1.2.2

v.s. what I was expecting which is below
