Error Reporting and Faults
HydraExpress handles server and client exceptions through
rwsf::Exception or one of its derived classes, and SOAP faults through an instance of
rwsf::SoapFaultException or one of its generated derivations if a fault is specified in the WSDL.
A WSDL file can define faults to be handled in the server and returned to the client.
One or more faults may be defined for each operation defined in the WSDL. HydraExpress creates a class for each unique fault message type defined. Several faults can use the same message format, so messages are the critical definition needed by HydraExpress to create a mechanism for returning faults to the client.
If faults are defined in the WSDL, the client-side sample application code HydraExpress generates contains catch blocks for each operation, with one catch block for each defined fault message type.
NOTE: This discussion reflects a traditional request-response operation. For a solicit-response operation, faults would be handled on the client and returned to the server.
See “Faults,” in Chapter 7 of the HydraExpress User Guide for more information.
