cannot generate C# exception code corresponds to <wsdl:fault> element

S

Steve

In Visual Studio .NET, I try to generate C# proxy class from WSDL, and
the WSDL file has <wsdl:fault> element. I expect the generated proxy
code should have the exception code that corresponds to <wsdl:fault>
element, but it doesn't have any.

I did some research and found out WSDL description generated by a .NET
Web service does not contain any wsdl:fault or soapbind:fault elements.
I am not sure if this is true, and not sure if VS.NET supports
exception code generation from <wsdl:fault> element. Is that true?

any ideas? please advise.

thanks!!

Hi,
Your are absolutely right. I encountered the same problem, and reached on the same conclusion, what ur suggesting.

Exception related code can not be generated for wsdl , c#,vb.net related files.
Bydefault, when we create client proxy or Server stub from wsdl file(which is having fault tag), it dosent any different peiece of code related to exception in code files.

It is true. .NET does not support generation of wsdl:fault elements, nor
will it generate exceptions corresponding to wsdl:fault elements it finds
during proxy generation.

In this case, the Java world has it over .NET. I used IBM Rational
Application Developer product (an eval) and was able to trivially create a
Java client for my web service. It came complete with exceptions that not
only matched my wsdl:fault elements, but they also properly deserialized the
<details> element in the fault into properties on the exception.

Why .NET can't do this, I don't know.

John
