ExceptionMapper in Jax WS

Question

We have a legacy SOAP web service written in .Net. We are rewriting that now in java.

I have never worked on SOAP services but have a little knowledge in REST web services.

In Jax RS, we have ExceptionMapper interface, which can be used to map any RuntimeException to a Response. So we map our custom exceptions and java.lang.RuntimeException to handle any unhandled runtime exceptions like below

@Provider
public class UnhandledExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<RuntimeException> { ... }

This way we make sure no exception stack trace will be returned to the client.

Is there a similar approach in Jax WS?

Yes you are almost right. In our SOAP service what we do is, we create a ServiceError class with a message field and an error code field also we write some constructor in that class.

We catch RunTime error as like follow:

try {

} catch(Throwable t) {
    return new ServiceError(109L,"RunTime Error:"+t.getMessage());
}

You can go through my approach.
