Exception thrown by webservice and caught by ASP.NET application

[Mark]

We have an internal web service that intentionally allows raw Exceptions to
be thrown to the clients that consume it. This web service is consumed by
internal ASP.NET applications. When the exception is caught by an ASP.NET
application, the amount of detail in the SOAP exception is limited. There
is no inner exception. However, if the exception is interegated by the
webservice before its thrown, it contains tons of information, including a
relevant stack trace. Is there a way for the client of the web service to
see this same level of exception detail?

Thanks in advance.

you have to build a SOAP extension to add the details into the XML:

note the security concerns in that article of doing this, and possible
cross-platform issues (unknown)
