title: JAX-WS servlet filter exceptions
body: <p>I have a client/server application that communicates via SOAP.  The server-side application is a Java EE app that exposes web services using JAX-WS.  I have a servlet filter setup to perform certain checks before a service is invoked.</p>
  
  <p>This is all working pretty well, except for exception handling.  If I throw an exception from the filter, it gets returned to the client as a generic server exception.  I need to find a way to propagate a custom exception containing a specific message, so the client can display the message to the user.  </p>
  
  <p>Any insight?</p>
