Hi Benjamin,
Although your comments didn't correlate with my initial test results, I realised they may have been skewed by the rest of the application infrastructure, so I decided to write a stand-alone module to test the various options. I have posted the code below in the hope that it helps somebody else who is trying to figure this out.
The short answer is that trigger_error('Some message', E_USER_ERROR) seems to be the best approach, as it results in a SOAP Fault document being passed back to the client without requiring any SOAP-specific code in the class whose functionality is being exposed, which is pretty much what I wanted. Unfortunately this solution doesn't provide the facility to return an error code, but I'm not too fussed about that.
FWIW, here is my test code:
<?php
/* zstest.php - Simple module to test Zend_Soap_Server error handling behaviour */
set_include_path( '../ws/library/' . get_include_path());
require_once "Zend/Loader.php";
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
if ( isset($_GET['wsdl'])) {
$auto = new Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover();
$auto->setClass('Foo');
$auto->handle();
} else if ( isset($_GET['ping'])) {
$client = new Zend_Soap_Client('
http://localhost/zstest.php?wsdl'); try {
echo $client->ping('Hello World!'), '<br />';
} catch ( Exception $e ) {
echo 'Exception caught: ', $e->faultcode , ' - ', $e->faultstring, '<br />';
}
echo htmlentities($client->getLastResponse());
} else {
$server = new Zend_Soap_Server('
http://localhost/zstest.php?wsdl'); $server->setClass('Foo');
$server->handle();
}
class Foo
{
/**
* @param string $testData
* @return string
*/
public function ping( $testData )
{
// throw new SoapFault( '1', 'Die' ); /* Error code and message passed back in SOAP Fault document. */
// die( 'Die' ); /* SOAP Fault document is NOT returned by server. */
// trigger_error('Die', E_USER_ERROR); /* Best compromise. */
return $testData;
}
}
?>

The Zend Soap Server internally catches all exceptions, warnings and
notices and transforms them
into XML SOAP Fault Response MEssages which are sent back to the client.
You can even decide which Error Messages are taken from the Exception based
on the Exception type with $server->registerException() // or something
like that.
