Web Services and Soap

Two questions: 

If I call an external web service from an Apex class, how can I detect if that service sends back a SOAP fault? 

 

If I create a web service in Apex to be called from outside Salesforce, can I send a SOAP fault response back to the caller?

In both cases soap faults are mapped to/from apex exceptions.

Yes indeed, when invoking a external Web Service from APEX, if this one is returning a SOAP Fault an expection is raised.

But I cannot figure out how to get the full soap message from this exception.

 

Can you help on this?
