Description

If the called web service (SOAP 1.1) returns a fault with a faultstring containing a <![CDATA[...]]> element

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soapenv:Header/>
  <soap:Body xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap:Fault>
      <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
      <faultstring><![CDATA[some text containing a xml tag <xml-tag>]]></faultstring>
    </soap:Fault>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

then the message in the resulting SOAPFaultException is empty. If the faultstring contains only "simple characters" everything is fine.

I think this issue was introduced with the fixing of bug https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4181.
