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
