Axis specifically does not serialize the data members of the Throwable class.  
See axis.utils.BeanUtils, line 124.  In order for your custom exception data 
to get passed to the client, you would need to define it as a JavaBean, with a 
default constructor and get/set methods, like this:

public class MyException extends Exception {
    private String msg;
    public MyException() {}
    public MyException(String s) {msg = s;}
    public String getMsg() { return msg; }
    public void setMsg(String s) { msg = s;}
}

Throwing this exception on the server gets the right exception on the client 
when using both this class on the client and the the WSDL2Java generated 
exception on the client.
