SOAP Fault recieved by JAX-WS Client is not throwing Exception - soap

Question

I refactored a JAX-WS client to run on Java11 (from Java8). The refactored code now uses jax-ws\jaxb from jaxws-rt-2.3.2.jar instead of the java8 rt.jar. The client is able to handle responses successfully when there isn't a fault but when a fault is received, it does NOT throw an Exception.
I have both old and new apps in 2 eclipse workspaces. cxf-codegen-plugin 3.3.1 was used to generate the client artifacts in both. In debug mode, I am able to see that the same request is handled differently in both. While unmarshalling the response, the Java11 workspace creates the SOAP11Fault object w/o setting any of the object attributes (faultcode, faultstring, detail). This is causing the SOAPFaultBuilder.createException() method to attempt to return a ProtcolException (which it does not find). The Java8 workspace creates the SOAP11Fault with the necessary attributes and causes the SOAPFaultBuilder.createException() method to handle the exception correctly. It appears that jaxb is not unmarshalling the XML message correctly in the jaxws-rt distribution.

Expecting the exception to be thrown in Java11 version workspace.

Answer 1

Good news, bad news. The good news is that I was able to get it working. The bad news is that I don't have any idea what did it. After many hours trying to resolve it, I decided to create a new workspace from scratch and re-apply my changes manually. I ran it and the fault response finally threw an exception in my client "faultCode argument for createFault was passed NULL" which confirmed my prior observation. I was able to find info online that suggested that the response might not be inline with the schema. I validated the XML payload against the schema and it was valid. I rebuilt the project with maven from the command prompt (outside of eclipse) and restarted the retested the application. The attributes of the fault where now populated correctly and my client is able to handle faults as expected. My only advise here for those developing in eclipse is that if all else fails, build a new workspace and see if that helps.
