I have generated some java class files using Axis1 (axis-1.4.jar). I have a WS method call (I can see its generated java code too).
Say this method call accepts a RequestA as parameter and returns an object of type ResponseA. The problem I have now is that ResponseA extends AxisFault (I can see that in the generated java source file for ResponseA). AxisFault on its own turn extends RemoteException.
As a result of this, the ResponseA object returned is not returned to me but is thrown to/at me as it is a RemoteException.
So when I do something like this
try {
ResponseA x = call(y); // y is RequestA
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
in my client code, the flow of control goes to the catch block and I am actually catching what I should normally be getting in the x variable (i.e. ex is what x would normally be).
Any idea what makes Axis generate my ResponseA class as a subclass of AxisFault? Also, in general, when is a class generated by Axis, generated as subclass of AxisFault?
I think this is my current problem. I think I am in the weird situation that the response from a succesful WS method call is not returned to me but is instead thrown to/at me.
Many thanks in advance.
