Note that the third parameter is for triggering a SOAP fault, not for
passing back an error Status in a Response. Basically, you do one or the
other. Why there aren't just separate methods, I haven't a clue at the
moment. I don't know what I was thinking at the time.

Well, that means something must be failing and not catching the error, and
it's probably sending back an HTML page with the error, if I had to guess. I
caught various errors as a failsafe, and triggered a servlet error response
in those cases.

I'd suggest capturing the input and using a command line tool like curl to
simulate the POST if you're not sure.
