      public class SOAPException
      extends Exception

  An exception that signals that a SOAP exception has occurred. A `SOAPException` object may contain a `String` that gives the reason for the exception, an embedded `Throwable` object, or both. This class provides methods for retrieving reason messages and for retrieving the embedded `Throwable` object.

  Typical reasons for throwing a `SOAPException` object are problems such as difficulty setting a header, not being able to send a message, and not being able to get a connection with the provider. Reasons for embedding a `Throwable` object include problems such as input/output errors or a parsing problem, such as an error in parsing a header.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SOAPException

          public SOAPException()

      Constructs a `SOAPException` object with no reason or embedded `Throwable` object.

    - #### SOAPException

          public SOAPException(String reason)

      Constructs a `SOAPException` object with the given `String` as the reason for the exception being thrown.
      Parameters:
        `reason` - a description of what caused the exception

    - #### SOAPException

          public SOAPException(String reason,
                               Throwable cause)

      Constructs a `SOAPException` object with the given `String` as the reason for the exception being thrown and the given `Throwable` object as an embedded exception.
      Parameters:
        `reason` - a description of what caused the exception
        `cause` - a `Throwable` object that is to be embedded in this `SOAPException` object

    - #### SOAPException

          public SOAPException(Throwable cause)

      Constructs a `SOAPException` object initialized with the given `Throwable` object.
      Parameters:
        `cause` - a `Throwable` object that is to be embedded in this `SOAPException` object

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getMessage

          public String getMessage()

      Returns the detail message for this `SOAPException` object.

      If there is an embedded `Throwable` object, and if the `SOAPException` object has no detail message of its own, this method will return the detail message from the embedded `Throwable` object.

      Overrides:
        `getMessage` in class `Throwable`
      Returns:
        the error or warning message for this `SOAPException` or, if it has none, the message of the embedded `Throwable` object, if there is one

    - #### getCause

          public Throwable getCause()

      Returns the `Throwable` object embedded in this `SOAPException` if there is one. Otherwise, this method returns `null`.
      Overrides:
        `getCause` in class `Throwable`
      Returns:
        the embedded `Throwable` object or `null` if there is none

    - #### initCause

          public Throwable initCause(Throwable cause)

      Initializes the `cause` field of this `SOAPException` object with the given `Throwable` object.

      This method can be called at most once. It is generally called from within the constructor or immediately after the constructor has returned a new `SOAPException` object. If this `SOAPException` object was created with the constructor `SOAPException(java.lang.Throwable)` or `SOAPException(java.lang.String, java.lang.Throwable)`, meaning that its `cause` field already has a value, this method cannot be called even once.

      Overrides:
        `initCause` in class `Throwable`
      Parameters:
        `cause` - the `Throwable` object that caused this `SOAPException` object to be thrown. The value of this parameter is saved for later retrieval by the `getCause()` method. A `null` value is permitted and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.
      Returns:
        a reference to this `SOAPException` instance
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `cause` is this `Throwable` object. (A `Throwable` object cannot be its own cause.)
        `IllegalStateException` - if this `SOAPException` object was created with `SOAPException(java.lang.Throwable)` or `SOAPException(java.lang.String, java.lang.Throwable)`, or this method has already been called on this `SOAPException` object
