Adding detail in a WS SoapFault : my custom ExceptionResolver is not used

Question

I\'m building a web service using Spring Boot (1.2.4.RELEASE) and I\'m quite new to this framework. Especially, I\'m trying to customize the SoapFault content when a

Answer 1

I know that this response is outdated but maybe it works for someone else.

MessageDispatcher raise two Resolvers by default: SimpleSoapExceptionResolver and SoapFaultAnnotationExceptionResolver in that order, if you want to get a soap fault with custom code and error message, you must declare the correct order to get SoapFaultAnnotationExceptionResolver first, and then SimpleSoapExceptionResolver.

Step 1. On bean configuration file corresponding:

<bean   class="org.springframework.ws.soap.server.endpoint.SoapFaultAnnotationExceptionResolver">
    <property name="order" value="1"/>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.ws.soap.server.endpoint.SimpleSoapExceptionResolver">
    <property name="order" value="2"/>
</bean>

Step 2. Declare your Exceptions as follows:

@SoapFault(faultCode = FaultCode.CUSTOM,locale="en",faultStringOrReason = "CUSTOM_MESSAGE",customFaultCode="YOUR_NAMESPACE + YOUR_CUSTOM_CODE")

public class DeclaracionNotFoundException extends BusinessException {

public DeclaracionNotFoundException(){
    super();
}

public DeclaracionNotFoundException(String message) {
    super(message);
}
}

Step 3.

Raise your Exception in your code normally

throws new DeclaracionNotFoundException(); //With default message from faultStringOrReason or throws new DeclaracionNotFoundException("Ops!!!"); //With other message

It works for me, and I got the following:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
         <faultcode xmlns:ns0="http://com.example">ns0:4</faultcode>
         <faultstring xml:lang="en">Ops !!!</faultstring>
      </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I defined faultCode = 4 and faultString=Ops !!!

Answer 2

As usual, I solve my problem an hour after posting it online. I should have done it earlier !

The bean name/id I tried to override was not right. After scanning a huge amount of org.springframework.beans debug logs, I found that the right bean name is soapFaultAnnotationExceptionResolver.

I also managed to convert the configuration in Java form:

package foo.bar.ws;

// Skipping imports...

/**
 * WS configuration and WSDL definition
 */
@EnableWs
@Configuration
public class WebServiceConfig extends WsConfigurerAdapter {

    public final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( WebServiceConfig.class );

    // Skipping other bean declarations...

    @Bean(name = "soapFaultAnnotationExceptionResolver")
    public DetailSoapFaultDefinitionExceptionResolver exceptionResolver( ApplicationContext applicationContext ){
        DetailSoapFaultDefinitionExceptionResolver exceptionResolver = new DetailSoapFaultDefinitionExceptionResolver();

        SoapFaultDefinition soapFaultDefinition = new SoapFaultDefinition();
        soapFaultDefinition.setFaultCode( SoapFaultDefinition.SERVER );
        exceptionResolver.setDefaultFault( soapFaultDefinition );

        return exceptionResolver;
    }

}
