SoapFault

[res1st]

Hi Arjen,

i just try to understand the new soap api.
In M1, i was able to write

SoapBody body = response.getSoapBody();
body.addFault( [....] );

In the new SOAP API of M2, there are 4 methods:

body.addMustUnderstandFault()
body.addVersionMismatchFault()
body.addClientOrSenderFault()
body.addServerOrReceiverFault()

But how can i add a custom fault code?

I just saw in subversion your comment: "custom code, only supported for SOAP 1.1".
Does my application needs to use SOAP 1.1 if i want to use custom fault codes?
What are the consequences?
What are the disadvantages/drawbacks?

Cheers,

Ingo

Yeah, the API has changed so that it reflects the common denominator between SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2. SOAP 1.1 supports custom faults codes, which SOAP 1.2 does not. In SOAP 1.2, you can only add you custom fault subcode to one of the standard error codes (MustUnderstand, VersionMismatch, Sender, or Receiver, see addSubcode in Soap12Fault). So you have to cast the SoapBody to Soap11Body, and then you can add your fault.

Basically, you probably want to use SOAP 1.1 anyway. SOAP 1.2 is not supported by many clients yet. Unless you know you really need it, it's best to use SOAP 1.1.

Ok, but i can switch to SOAP 1.2 if i really need that in a year?


Is it possible to switch my SWS-application to SOAP1.2?
I see your type cast, but where is it defined that SWS uses SOAP 1.1?

 if (soapBody instanceof Soap11Body) {
                Soap11Body soap11Body = (Soap11Body) soapBody;

I don't need it, but i need to satisfy my curiosity.

The MessageContextFactories basically detect what the version of the incoming message is, and uses that also for the request message, so it does it dynamically.

Note that you will need SAAJ 1.3 (saaj.dev.java.net) to support SOAP 1.2. Then, you can set a property on the SaajSoapMessageContextFactory (soapProtocol) to set the version statically.

Which reminds me, I should add a similar property to Axiom.
