throwing cutom messages in exception in soap based web services

Question

I am working on the web services to get some user details from Database. I am unaware of throwing and handling the exceptions.

@WebMethod(operationName ="My operataion")
    @WebResult(name="Some Type")
    public UserDetails getUserInfo(@WebParam(name="mailID")int mailID) throws SQLException{
        UserDetails user= new UserDetails();
        User umanager= new User();
        user= umanager.getUserInfo(custID);
        return user;


    }

I want to catch the exception at client side and I want to modify the error message like "Unable to connect to Database" .

Can any one tell how to do that and send custom exceptions too.

Thanks in Advance.

Take a look of following tutorial:

1. throwing exceptions

For your function you can write it like that

public UserDetails getUserInfo(@WebParam(name="mailID")int mailID) throws SQLException{
    // if your connection not established then   
    throw new SQLException("Unable to connect to Database");
}
