Web service Error Handling

acpark

Hello,

We have several reports which use web services as data sources. We would like to display a meaningful error message to the user but if a web service returns an error all that is displayed on the is a generic error message. In the preview it is an HTTP response code 500 and in the viewer it the message displayed is a failure to generate report a report element.

What would be the best method of creating a more meaningful message for the user ?

Is it possible to access more detail of the returned SOAP Fault message using javascript ?

Thank you,
Andrew Park.
