Need help - SOAPFault converted to exception

[Ao...@meridianp2p.com]

I'm sending this again, as I would really appreciate a pointer in the 
right direction with this.
I have searched the message archives - if the answer is there I'm afraid 
that I haven't found it.
thanks,
aoife

        Subject:        SOAPFault converted to exceptin



Hi, 
I have a client that in certain conditions may receive a SOAPFault from 
the server.  The service spec that I'm working to says that the fault 
string will be one of four values and the client needs to be able to 
determine which of those values caused the error.  According  the Axis 
installation guide Axis will convert the fault to a Java exception.  I can 
use getMessage() on the exception to get the Fault string but what's the 
best way of getting the fault code (to ensure it's a Server rather than a 
Client generated fault)? 

In fact, is this really the only way that a client using generated stubs 
can access a SOAP fault? 

Thanks 
Aoife
