Synchronous SOAP: Get fault message on ABAP side

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've a synchronous ABAP Proxy => PI 7.11 => SOAP scenario.

The SOAP receiver is a third party application using AXIS 1.4.

When I call the SOAP receiver with bad input via SOAP UI I receive an error message like that:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <soapenv:Fault>
         <faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>
         <faultstring>com.ZZZ.exception.ZZZException: Employee not found: 9999911111</faultstring>
         <detail>
            <com.ZZZ.exception.ZZZException xsi:type="ns1:ZZZException" xmlns:ns1="http://exception.ZZZ.com"/>
            <ns2:hostname xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">server.YYY.com</ns2:hostname>
         </detail>
      </soapenv:Fault>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

When I call the SOAP receiver through my ABAP proxy, I just get this exception message in SXI_MONI:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<com.ZZZ.exception.ZZZException xmlns:ns1="http://exception.ZZZ.com" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="ns1:ZZZException"/>

Nevertheless I see the error in SXI_MONI:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!-- XML Validation Inbound Channel Response -->
<SAP:Error SOAP:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <SAP:Category>Application</SAP:Category>
    <SAP:Code area="SOAP">FAULT</SAP:Code>
    <SAP:P1>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/</SAP:P1>
    <SAP:P2>Server.userException</SAP:P2>
    <SAP:P3/>
    <SAP:P4/>
    <SAP:AdditionalText>com.ZZZ.exception.ZZZException: Employee not found: 9999911111</SAP:AdditionalText>
    <SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="">com.ZZZ.exception.ZZZException</SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage>
    <SAP:Stack/>
    <SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>

In the WSDL of the SOAP receiver there's just the ZZZException without fields faultcode or faultstring:

<complexType name="ZZZException">
  <sequence/>
</complexType>

Do I have to add the fields faultcode or faultstring to the WSDL myself?

I tried the following, but it didn't work:

<complexType name="ZZZException" abstract="true">
    <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="faultstring" type="soapenc:string">
    </xsd:sequence>
</complexType>

Thanks in advance!

Hi Eddie -

Do I have to add the fields faultcode or faultstring to the WSDL by myself?

>>> No. Even though you add - it doesn't work as it's the webservice which returns the message.

For sending the fault messages, Have a look at the below blog -

Thanks for the link!

But I've already done it that way...

The problem is that I always have to go into SXI_MONI to figure out what's the exact error message!
