Problem:

Product:  Studio Enterprise Edition v6.0 SP2 WS1 SuSE Linux 32 bit (execution environment)

               Studio Enterprise Edition v6.0 SP2 Windows  - Net Express v6.0 IMTK used to create (service and wsdl) and deploy the web service

               Net Express v6.0, within Studio EE was used to create the wsdl.

The wsdl indicates that the errordetail returning from the server (running in ES) will be qualified, but it isn't. When there isn't an error the details are returning with qualification. 

An example (error) response is shown below:

         SOAP-ENV:Client

         Error in client request message

         
               453

               453   Invalid SOAP message

            
The WSDL defines the elementFormDefault for the errordetail schema as "qualified".  A web service client was generated using Apache CXF ... and the resulting client would fault and crash whenever it received an "error" response.

Resolution:

It turns out that the problem was due to CXF validating the response as per the WSDL definition ... the "errorcode" and "errortest" elements were being returned unqualified by the web service. The solution was to manually amend the WSDL and set elementFormDefault="unqualified" for the errordetail schema and then regenerate the web service client from the amended WSDL.
