SOAPFault has no children! Causes serialization to be incorrect.
----------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: AXIS-2207
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2207
     Project: Apache Axis
        Type: Bug
  Components: SAAJ  
    Versions: 1.2    
 Environment: Axis 1.2, Tomcat 5.0, Eclipse 3
 Reporter: Jeff Saremi


If you decide to serialize org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFault by ways of using other methods than the serializationContext and/or toString() method you will not be able to get it serialize correctly. For instance, try using XMLUtils.ElementToStream on a SOAPFault. The result is completely different than when you use fault.toString().
I think its related to the fact that under the fault no children show up!
Here's a quick test:

************* CODE  *****************************

	private static final String XML_STRING = "<soapenv:Fault xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"><faultcode xmlns:ns1=\"http://xml.apache.org/axis/\">ns1:SomeFaultCode</faultcode><faultstring>Some text for the fault</faultstring><faultactor/><detail/></soapenv:Fault>";

	public void testSOAPFault() throws Exception {
		Document doc = XMLUtils.newDocument(
                                                  new ByteArrayInputStream(XML_STRING.getBytes()) );
		SOAPFault fault = new SOAPFault(
                                                   AxisFault.makeFault(new Exception("something went wrong")));
		ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
		XMLUtils.ElementToStream(fault, bout);
		System.out.println("fault.getChildNodes().getLength() = " + 
                                                     fault.getChildNodes().getLength());
		System.out.println(bout.toString());
	}
 *********************    END OF CODE *****************************

***************    RESULTS     **************************************
fault.getChildNodes().getLength() = 0
<null/>


***************   END OF RESULTS ********************************

The problem may be related to more classes than SOAPFault but i didn't have time to investigate.
