Description

I have a module to enforce some custom policies when invoking a dummy service and it worked completely well on Axis2 1.4.1.
Yet, when I am throwing an AxisFault SOAP fault, 1.5.1 throws this exception:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet AxisServlet threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException

Apparantly, the axisMessage is null on line 1609 (String direction = axisMessage.getDirection(). Weird thing is that it works for operation with policy I attached in module.xml and always reproduces this error for any operation with policies on my service.
