Hi there, I'm developing a simple jboss endpoint and I'm having trouble. I've used WStools to generate the necessary files. Things work fine when the user provides the correct input, and things also work fine (the server sends an appropriate fault) when the user sends bad input such as an unsupported function name or the wrong arguments. However, if the user sends a bad SOAP request entirely, such as the tags don't match up, the server generates an error and doesn't send the client anything back at all. I would like this to generate a fault to the client, instead of merely being silent. Does anyone have any idea as to why this may be happening? Here's the jboss stack trace: 13:29:47,229 ERROR [STDERR] [Fatal Error] :4:60: The end-tag for element type "CustomerID" must end with a '>' delimiter. 13:29:47,242 ERROR [SOAPFaultExceptionHelper]
