Description

Hi,

Issue was discussed in user list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg22444.html

Use case: Dispatch client sends stream message to remote Web Service using following code:

final Dispatch<StaxSource> dispatch = service.createDispatch(PORT_NAME,
StaxSource.class, Service.Mode.MESSAGE);
final StaxSource response = dispatch.invoke(request);

In case if remote service is just not available, code throws following SoapFault:
org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapFault: Problem writing SAAJ model to stream
at org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.saaj.SAAJOutInterceptor$SAAJOutEndingInterceptor.ha
ndleMessage(SAAJOutInterceptor.java:214)[132:org.apache.cxf.bundle:2.4.2]
at org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.saaj.SAAJOutInterceptor$SAAJOutEndingInterceptor.ha
ndleMessage(SAAJOutInterceptor.java:170)[132:org.apache.cxf.bundle:2.4.2]
at org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept(PhaseInterceptorChain.ja
va:263)[132:org.apache.cxf.bundle:2.4.2]

To be honest, the error message is quite confusing, I expect "Connection refused" exception here.

The wrapped Exception is available:
Caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxIOException: Connection refused: connect
at com.ctc.wstx.sw.BaseStreamWriter.flush(BaseStreamWriter.java:257)

Patch is attached.

Regards,
Andrei.
