/** The <code>SOAPFaultException</code> exception represents a

 *  <p>A <code>SOAPFaultException</code> wraps a SAAJ <code>SOAPFault</code>
 *  that manages the SOAP-specific representation of faults.
 *  The <code>createFault</code> method of
 *  <code>javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory</code> may be used to create an instance

 *
 *  <p>Note that the value of <code>getFault</code> is the only part of the
 *  exception used when searializing a SOAP fault.
 *
 *  <p>Refer to the SOAP specification for a complete
