      public class SOAPFaultException
      extends ProtocolException

  The `SOAPFaultException` exception represents a SOAP 1.1 or 1.2 fault.

  A `SOAPFaultException` wraps a SAAJ `SOAPFault` that manages the SOAP-specific representation of faults. The `createFault` method of `javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory` may be used to create an instance of `javax.xml.soap.SOAPFault` for use with the constructor. `SOAPBinding` contains an accessor for the `SOAPFactory` used by the binding instance.

  Note that the value of `getFault` is the only part of the exception used when searializing a SOAP fault.

  Refer to the SOAP specification for a complete description of SOAP faults.

    JAX-WS 2.0
