Useless Exception Text

[Chris Rimmer <ch...@nominet.org.uk>]

I have just started out using Axis.  While trying to deploy some files
using AdminClient, I got back the cryptic error:

java.lang.Exception: FIXME

which didn't really make my day! So, I downloaded the source code for
release 1.1 and sure enough found these lines in Admin.java:

// TODO: Better handling here
throw new Exception("FIXME"); 

Reading the source code, it was now obvious that it didn't like the URI I
had specified for WSDD (missed the slash off the end).  Surely at the very
least this line could say something like

throw new Exception("Bad WSDD URI"); 

and save users being forced to scrutinise the Axis source code to find
what they did wrong in their code?  

Consider this a patch ;)
