Jaxws Exceptions

[Stefan Gerber]

Hello,
I have defined a server side exception that i want catch on client side. Now there are two things i don't understand:

1. When i generate the source code for the client side, the name of the exception is TestException_Exception. Why is the "_Exception" there?
2. On the TestException class i have to define the function getErrorCode() that calls the same function on the FaultDetailBean. If i don't define
this method i get the following exception. Why must i define the bean methods on the Exception class?

com.sun.xml.ws.encoding.soap.SerializationException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: TestException .getErrorCode()
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAPFaultBuilder.createDetailFromUserDefinedException(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:357)
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAPFaultBuilder.getFaultDetail(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:329)
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAPFaultBuilder.createSOAPFaultMessage(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:193)
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAPFaultBuilder.createSOAPFaultMessage(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:184)
at com.sun.xml.ws.server.sei.EndpointMethodHandler.invoke(EndpointMethodHandler.java:265)
at com.sun.xml.ws.server.sei.SEIInvokerTube.processRequest(SEIInvokerTube.java:95)


The exception class look like this:

  
@WebFault(faultBean = "FaultDetailBean")
public class TestException extends Exception {

  private FaultDetailBean mFaultDetailBean;

 public TestException (String message, FaultDetailBean faultDetailBean) {
    super(message);
    mFaultDetailBean = faultDetailBean;
  }


  public FaultDetailBean getFaultDetailBean() {
    return mFaultDetailBean;
  }

//  Bean methods must be passed through this exception class.
//  otherwise it doesn't work.
//  
  public int getErrorCode() {
    return mFaultDetailBean.getErrorCode();
  }
}
  

thanks
