Exception-handling in JAX-WS Web Services on WebLogic

There is more to exception-handling in JAX-WS Web Services than meets the eye. Especially when throwing custom (checked) exceptions from your Java methods that are exposed as Web Service operations. There’s a nice blog by Eben Hewitt on using SOAP Faults and Exceptions in Java JAX-WS Web Services. I recommend reading it; especially when you get the following error: javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException java.lang.NoSuchMethodException. This is one of the issues you might run into when migrating from Oracle Application Server (OC4J) to Oracle WebLogic Server.
