SOAP <faultstring> - web-services

I am having an issue with the SOAP , when I call my services I get this error:
<faultstring>Fault occurred while processing.</faultstring>
The following response is returned which doesn't give a clue where and why the error happens. How can I customize and show a proper detailed message to user so he/she know what they did wrong
I have gone through the CXF customization with outFaultInterceptors and inFaultInterceptors but I am not clear how I am gonna customize cxf.

This means that the web service framework is returning an unchecked exception. Try running the web service on a debugger to see where the exception is happening or wrapping the web service body inside an try/catch to print the stack trace.

Web service returns error “The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400) Bad Request”

I am calling Web Service in my windows application(Web service is in same project). It works fine when I use it with test database, but when I change database schema to QA in web Service. It gives me error " “The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400) Bad Request”
The web service is same but still gets error when I change schema.This is Web Service, not WCF service and I am using VS2010. I am not understanding what is happening wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
There is error in paramters you supply to webpage (webservice) of website. Check what you supply in headers of your request object.
Actually, one of the values in the DTO which was passed to webmethod was having some bad data(say, memberid="H00001\0\0\0\0"). I corrected this value and assigned to DTO before passing to webmehtod. And it worked fine. Thanks kostas ch. and Salahuddin for your help!

SOAP Webservice call from Java gives "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I have a requirement where I call a SOAP based web service from Java using Axis2 from eclipse. The web service code is in C#, with a BasicHttpBinding.
But when I call the method from the client stub I get this error.
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Could anyone help me figure out this one? Is this on the service side or on the client side? Previously I got 'Internal Server error' and then they had to add something so that I can see this error in the logs.
The message is from the C# web service side ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object" is basically a Java equivalent of NullPointerException) but it might be because of something you send from your Java client or maybe you don't send.
The error usually means that you didn't send a required parameter and that the web service didn't do a proper job of validating it's input and missing parameter got to a point when caused the NullReferenceException.
But there is only one way to be sure, and that is to troubleshoot the call.
I suggest you use something like SoapUI to create a message and send that to the service. Once you get a succesfull call in SoapUI, make a call with the same parameters from your Java client and see what happens. When you do that, using a proxy for logging is very useful to see if the sent message is actually the expected one.

PeopleSoft - Cannot process SOAP fault messages after consuming web service

PT 8.50.15
We have a new integration with a third party system. They have provided the wsdl and I have used the consume web service wizard to consume it into PeopleSoft. All this does is give you the stub messages with a schema attached to each. I have written some peoplecode to send a test message out to the webservice. When the webservice returns a valid result, I have no problems. However, when the webservice returns a fault message, I get the following error:
Integration Gateway - HttpTargetConnector:ExternalApplicationException. Http status code HttpStatusCode returned : 500. (158,10623)
HttpTargetConnector:ExternalApplicationException. External System responded with an Error status. For Http Status Code explanation please check Http protocol Specifications.
I know the webservice is returning the fault message b/c I have tried the same thing in SOAPUI. Does anyone know why PeopleSoft throws up this error ONLY on the fault message?
In addition to the prior response, the 500 error you are seeing should be followed by any soap fault coming back with the response in the errorLog.html file on your gateway (or msgLog depending on the ig.log.level setting in your integrationgateway.properties file. Check the 'response' section, as well as the stack trace for additional information.
On the routing that you are using, click the 'User Exception' check box. Then you will not get the HTTP 500 error. Evaluate the response from the response message. If it's not zero, you will then be able to parse the SOAP fault and see what the returned faultstring is.
Get your Service operation corrected. I Had same issue, After i changed the SO in this code it started working
&msgRequest = CreateMessage(Operation.Operation_name, %IntBroker_Request);

Web Service Error

I have a xml web service and I published it on IIS(localhost). Web service is veriy simple. There is only one method. And there is no exception potential in the web service. I have to use HttpWebRequest instead of adding web reference. I got the following error:
"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error". I have checked request xml many times. When I add web referance there is no problem. What's reason of error?
Thanks in advance
Its not possible to tell what the problem is from the information you have provided.
If the web service is one that you have written then you need to get IIS to report a detailed error message on the nature of the problem (by default a restricted error message is shown to prevent would-be attackers obtaining potentially sensitive information), or find another way to obtain detailed error information. Exact instructions on how to do this will depend on the service itself (is this an ASP.Net web service? What version of IIS is this?) however this article - How to Use HTTP Detailed Errors in IIS 7.0 may be of assistance.
If the web service is one that a 3rd party has produced then I'm afraid you need to work with that 3rd party to fix this.
Update: Also try reading Detailed 500 error message, ASP + IIS 7.5 on how to get more detailed error messages.

Reporting an error from a POST Web Service

I'm developing a web service (in asp.net) and I would like to have each web method report to whoever called it when an internal error occurs - for example when input validation has failed.
When I expose my web service with SOAP such errors can be reported by raising a SoapException. But what if I expose my web service with plain POST (aka Http-Post)? Other than returning a 500 Error HTTP status code, is there a standard for reporting errors or raising exceptions in this case?
Change the response object to contain a status filed, and error message (or only error message, and check at the receiver if empty), and set it properly instead of throwing an exception.
I've always just returned the 500 status code, along with a textual description of the error. Just make sure it's documented so the client can handle it correctly.
