Problem with JAX-WS when trying to parse a SOAP Fault

vladodias

Hi,

I've found a potential bug in JAX-WS when trying to parse a SOAP Fault... description below... Where do I register this so it can be assessed and fixed?

My webservice is returning a SOAP Fault like this…

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <soap:Body xmlns:tns="http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/10.1" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

      <tns:Fault xmlns:my="urn:myNamespace" xmlns:tns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<faultcode>tns:Client</faultcode>

<faultstring>Not found - parcel_key = 283458</faultstring>

<detail>

            <exception>this is my exception</exception>

         </detail>

</tns:Fault>

</soap:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

When I try to call this web service, using JAX-WS, I get an unexpected NPE – Null Pointer Exception

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: java.lang.NullPointerException

        at cogc.test.Class1.main(Class1.java:93)

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

        at com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.dispatch.DispatchImpl.doInvoke(DispatchImpl.java:184)

        ... 2 more

The cause seems to be this code…

 

Possible solution would be…

public static boolean isStackTraceXml(Element n) {

    return n.getLocalName().equals(LOCAL_NAME) && n.getNamespaceURI() != null && n.getNamespaceURI().equals(NS);

}
