How to throw custom exceptions?

[Chris Nappin <C....@ABM-UK.COM>]

 

Hi,

 

  I'm having trouble throwing custom exceptions in an interoperable way
in Axis 1.2.1. I've read previous mailing list messages and looked at
the "samples/faults" files but haven't got very far. I've been unable to
get any custom data into the "detail" section of the fault.

 

Can someone please clarify:

 

1.	What should my exception look like - does it extend Exception,
RemoteException or ApacheFault? Does it need to be Serializable? Does
Axis support the JAX-RPC way of having exceptions as immutable beans
(constructors for setting properties, getters for reading, no setters)?
2.	What should my service signature look like - simply "throws
MyCustomException"?
3.	What extra needs to go into my server-config.wsdd - I've tried
adding an operation section with a fault, and a typeMapping.
4.	I have lots of details of my custom fault in my wsdl, but if we
don't use wsdl2java then Axis won't actually use that, right?

 

Thanks,
