SoapException

[sjakiePP]

Hi,

I am building a webservice, but I have a problem. When an error occurs I create and throw SoapExceptions. From the webmethods these are also thrown. But in my browser I only get a 500 http error. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Do I have to get the Soap Fault in my browser?

Thanks in advance
Sjakie.

What are the settings for the customErrors element in your web.config. If these are set to 'on' (or remoteOnly if your accessing the web service from a different machine) but no defaultRedirect is supplied then this could have the effect your describing.

My custom errors was <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>.

I have changed it to <customErrors mode="On"/>, but still I receive a 500 http error.

Try setting it to 'off' this should work. You can use customErrors to deliver a customised 404, 500 page etc to the user as you would have done via settings in IIS for ASP. If you don't have a defaultRedirect page set and have customErrors switched on you will get the defualt 404 or 500 page from IIS instead of the Framework error page with the details of the exception thrown. (I think - admittedly i haven't tested it but i'd be surprised if the behaviour wss different)

Nope, it still didn't work.

Could it be normal behavior? That when I throw a SoapException you always get a 500 error instead of the soap fault xml file?

Sorry, never thrown a SoapException explicitly so can't be sure. What happens if you throw a different exception - do you still get 500 or is it only for SoapException?

I have tried it with an Exception. But all exception are transformed in to SoapException, so it doesn't matter wich Exception you throw.

I have also tried to create the SoapException in a different way. With the same result.

Aren't there tools to accomplish this?

Sjakie,

If you're using IE, you can turn off Friendly HTTP Error Messages. Go to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Tab.

Uncheck "Show Friendly HTTP error messages" in the browsing section.

HTH,

With that I get the exception with the message and the stack trace. It will do for debugging and testing purposes.

Thanks

Sjakie.
