We are rapidly approaching a working PSI prototype that will be able to
"throw exceptions" from the method calls. They are known as "soap
faults"...
Our current methods don't "throw exceptions" in the XML string parameters
that are returned, it was an unfortunate naming of the return paramater -
"ExceptionAttributes" that is now named "UnsupportedAttributes". Returning
"UnsupportedAttributes" does not mean that an error has occured, rather that
some requested attributes are not supported by the service.
We will be throwing "faults" from the soap calls...
Hopefully this is clearer now..

Subject: Throwing exceptions
How to throw an exception form a SOAP method.
I see this in the spec as a question ... "DHall - define exactly how to
throw an exception from a SOAP method" section 5.3.1.
Our current definition packages exceptions as a multi XML string parm set in
the return. Is this our conscious resolution to PSI exceptions? Have we
considered throwing exceptions, independently, across the web services
interface?
