Description
When there is unchecked NPE thrown, the SOAPFault in CXF will only throw the "Fault occurred while processing." message rather than the original NPE message.
Analysis:
1. In org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.Soap11FaultOutInterceptor and org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.Soap12FaultOutInterceptor,
It will check fault.getMessage() :
if (fault.getMessage() != null) {
if (message.get("forced.faultstring") != null)
else
{ writer.writeCharacters(fault.getMessage()); }} else
{ writer.writeCharacters("Fault occurred while processing."); }But for NPE, the fault.getMessage() will return null instead of the "java.lang.NullPointerException" in the getMessage() in NPE.
2.
Fault.getMessage will return null in the NPE scenario while it's super class Throwable will not.
When there is NPE, the message attribute in Fault is null while the detailMessageAtrribute is "java.lang.NullPointerException".
Details:
SoapFault->Fault->UncheckedException->RuntimeException->Exception->Throwable. // SoapFault->Fault means SoapFault class extends Fault class
UncheckedException.getMessage:
public String getMessage() {
if (null != message)
return null;
}
Throwable.getMessage:
public String getMessage() {
return detailMessage;
}
