Question

I am developing a SOAP web service with CXF 2.3.3. I want to throw a custom exception when user has submitted wrong data. My exception class looks like this.

@WebFault(name="InvalidUserDataException", targetNamespace="http://foo.bar.com/")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class InvalidUserDataException extends RuntimeException {

public InvalidUserDataException(){
    super();
}

    String validationErrors;

}

In my method Impl class I purposely throw this exception to see whether SoapFault exception is returned by CXF to client, but whatever I do to any of these classes results in same error: createNewUser has thrown exception, unwinding now.

Note that WSUserRegistration interface also declares itself that createNewUser method throws InvalidUserDataException.

public class WSUserRegistrationImpl implements WSUserRegistration {

@Autowired
IWSUserValidationProxy validationProxyImpl;

@Override
public int createNewUser(RegistrationInputProperty registrationInfo) throws InvalidUserDataException {

    if (true) {
        throw new InvalidUserDataException();
    }
    return 1;
}

}

My goal is to catch this exception from a SOAPFaultOutInterceptor and return a customized faultDetail.

How do I make CXF catch this error and return a SOAPFault object? Any ideas?
