PK90258: USER-DEFINED EXCEPTIONS EXTENDING JAVAX.XML.RPC.SOAP.SOAPFAULTEX CEPTION WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED AS USER-DEFINED.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a user-defined exception extends
  javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException, the web services engine
  fails to recognize it as user-defined. This causes these
  types of exceptions to be written to the application server's
  JVM log, which is incorrect behavior.

  *                 web services with custom exceptions that     *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Service-specific exceptions that are    *
  *                      thrown by a web service might appear    *
  *                      in the JVM log.                         *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a web service application throws a service-specific
  exception, then that exception should not be logged to
  the JVM log. This is because service-specific exceptions do
  not indicate system errors, such as in the case of a
  java.lang.NullPointerException. These types of exceptions can
  be logged to trace if the user enables trace for
  com.ibm.ws.webservices.trace.UserExceptionTrace.
  However, if the exception extends
  javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException, the web services engine
  is not marking it as service-specific and therefore logs it
  to the JVM log.
  

Problem conclusion

• The web services engine was fixed to accept this type of
  exception as service-specific.
  
  APAR PK90258 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.5 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
