Catching the SOAP Fault error in custom interceptor (Soap12FaultOutInterceptor)

Question

I wrote a custom CXF interceptor to log all the SOAP request and responses into the database and it seems to be working fine with positive test cases and server errors.

Answer 1

So in my custom interceptor I write the following code:

Fault fault = new Fault(message.getContent(Exception.class));

Now this is in some legacy code that was throwing exceptions from Java and letting the framework convert it to a fault. I won't get into my feelings on that, but this will get you the fault that is generated.

Now if you are throwing a fault from your service method, do

Fault fault = message.getContect(Fault.class);

Hopefully this will help you get the answer to what you want. Make sure you register the interceptor like below
