Return exception in web service to external app

I have a web service in SFDC. it is being called by external java app. inputs are sent into web service and output is returned as sobject.
Eg
global class Pipeline {

  WebService static opportunity[] Apptaker(string adid, string Ftype, date Frmdt, date todt, string stype, string sorder) {

opportunity[] opp;
...........
.........
 
return opp;
}
 
 
 
Now I have not handled exceptions. In case there is any exception from web service, how do I return error to the UI java app
SuperfellSuperfell
exceptions in apex will be returned as soap faults to the client.

Soap fault is not present in the WSDl that is created for the web service.
 
If it is standard then probably, we dont have to incorporate it in the code?
SuperfellSuperfell
SOAP faults are defined in the SOAP protocol, and generally don't appear in the WSDL (unless the server is returning an extension to the soap fault structure).

Most soap stacks will automatically turn a soap fault into a thrown exception (for languages that use exceptions)

So exactly what do I do to avail this facility.
 
Thanks

which part, the apex stuff is all automatic, for how soap faults are handled in your client code, you'll have to read the docs for whatever soap client you're using.

That will be java application. That application will consume our Enterprise WSDl to login in SFDC. Then the WSDL for the web service to call it.

How will SOAP section be implemented. Any recommendations or pointers.
SuperfellSuperfell
There's about 20 soap stacks for java, so you'll need to consult the docs for the one you're using. If you're using Axis 1.x, then it will automatically throw an AxisFault exception if the server returns a soap fault.
