axis message based service and faults

I currently am experiencing a problem with a message based web service and soap faults. It seems as though I'm unable to get the faults from the web service. I suspect that it is due to this bug but am wondering if anyone out there has done anything to work around this or can provide any general pointers to me on getting the SOAPFault efficiently and effectively from the element on the client side. It would seem to to me that somewhere out there would have to be code available to already do this.

never mind. figured this one out myself. apparently you have to throw an AxisFault in order for it to get caught as a fault on the other side. Not the prettiest thing (i don't think) but it appears to work. Can anyone confirm/deny this is the correct way to do this for a message based service in Axis?
