require 'soap/rpc/router'

# get an exception
e = begin
  raise NotImplementedError.new("hello world")
rescue NotImplementedError
  $!
end

# dump it as an XML
fault = SOAP::RPC::Router.new("dummy").__send__(:fault, e)
env = SOAP::SOAPEnvelope.new(nil, SOAP::SOAPBody.new(fault))
xml = SOAP::Processor.marshal(env)
puts xml

# get an object from SOAPFault
env = SOAP::Processor.unmarshal(xml)
body = env.body
fault = body.root_node
obj = SOAP::Mapping.soap2obj(fault)

p obj.faultcode
