A handler's handleFault() method is never called. ------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-807 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-807 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: jaxrpc Affects Versions: jbossws-1.0.0.CR4 Environment: JBoss4.0.4-RC2 Reporter: Dave Head-Rapson Assigned To: Heiko Braun Fix For: jbossws-1.0.0 Attachments: JAXRPCServerExceptionHandler.java, standard-jbossws-endpoint-config.xml For a handler deployed under jbossws, the handleFault() method is only called when a known exception is thrown. That is, for exceptions thrown from behind a web service, that have no jaxrpc mapping, the handleFault() method of web service handlers is never executied. To replicate: * I've attached a simple handler class, and the standard-jbossws-endpoint-config.xml file I've been using to set the handler to the chain. * Compile & install the handler class onto the classpath, then deploy any web service on the server. * Change the server config so that when it's called it will throw some unexpected runtime exception - perhaps you could remove datasource or some other resource required by the service. * The call the web service * The output will contain some debug from the handleRequest() method of the JAXRPCServerExceptionHandler * The output will not contain any debug messages from the JAXRPCServerExceptionHandler
