Hi Doug Kohlert,
You have answered in your previous mail that we could have only one getter method in user defined service specific exception that returns a particular type. Why this restriction in the present release? and will it be resolved in the next release?

Your Answer
-----------------------------------
The FCS version of jaxrpc released in the jwsdp 1.0 release will allow
you to throw service specific exception from your server's
implementation class and catch them on your jaxrpc client if the
exceptions match the following format.
The exception class must have a constructor that has one parameter for
each getter method defined on the exception, the parameter types must
match the types of the getter methods. You can only have one getter
method that returns a particular type.
for example
public class MyException extends Exception {
public MyException(String name, int age)...
public int getAge()...
public String getName()...
}
will work. however;
public class MyException extends Exception {
public MyException(String name, String address, int age)...
public int getAge()...
public String getName()...
public String getAddress()..
}
will not work because the getName and getAddress method both return type
String.
This exception can be caught on the client as a SOAPFaultException.
