SOAP SSL exceptions and error messages

[Robert Dyas <rd...@adelphia.net>]

Hi Everyone,

It does not appear that soap.jar (with SSL) passes exception information
very well.

There are two copies of error output below. The first one is for an
"untrusted server cert chain" when simplying using URL outside of the soap
framework. The second one is accessing the same server, and I am pretty sure
generating the same error, however the info passed along by soap is so
limited that you would never be able to debug it.

Is there a way to get soap to pass along better exception information?
