Description

JAX-WS Dispatch clients using a JAXB Context will use the context to parse returned faults into a JAXB object. However, the next step in the ClientFaultConverter is to try and create an Exception object that is throwable from that. Since Dispatch objects don't have the generated exceptions, this results in a null class and the cls.getConstructor calls will NPE. Should just allow the default SOAPFaultException for dispatch clients.
