Throwing SoapExceptions

Sometimes things can go wrong when code is executed, so Exceptions are
thrown. When your application exposes services through a webservice layer,
SoapExceptions are thrown from the server to the client. By default normal
Exceptions are converted to a SoapException, resulting in a rather ugly
Exception containing all information concatenated in a long String. But
luckily the SOAP protocol allows any XML document to be included in SOAP
error messages. This article shows how to build some helper classes to
easily pass error information from the server to the client through a
webservice layer.
