java - How to send custom response message instead of Fault message in case of an exception with JAXWS? -

in jaxws web service need send specific message client when exception occurs, not standard fault message description of exception.

how can done?

i using jaxws-rt version 2.1.3

i have tried use exception mappers without luck (some how not called, caused mistake in configuration):

@provider public class throwableexceptionmapper implements exceptionmapper<throwable> {      public throwableexceptionmapper() {         // todo auto-generated constructor stub     }      @override     public response toresponse(throwable throwable) {         if (throwable instanceof webapplicationexception) {             return ((webapplicationexception) throwable).getresponse();         } else {             return response.servererror().entity("").build();         }     } } 

the server use jboss eap 6.4.

edit:
exception mapper approach not suited jaxws web service, because jax-rs (thanks srinivas k). there similar available jaxws?

can try using below?

string errormessage = "this custom error message"; return response.status(e.getresponse().getstatus()).entity(errormessage).build();
