      public class ProtocolException
      extends WebServiceException

  The `ProtocolException` class is a base class for exceptions related to a specific protocol binding. Subclasses are used to communicate protocol level fault information to clients and may be used on the server to control the protocol specific fault representation.

    Constructor and Description
    `ProtocolException()` Constructs a new protocol exception with `null` as its detail message.
    `ProtocolException(String message)` Constructs a new protocol exception with the specified detail message.
    `ProtocolException(String message, Throwable cause)` Constructs a new runtime exception with the specified detail message and cause.
    `ProtocolException(Throwable cause)` Constructs a new runtime exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

    - #### ProtocolException

          public ProtocolException()

      Constructs a new protocol exception with `null` as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to `Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable)`.

    - #### ProtocolException

          public ProtocolException(String message)

      Constructs a new protocol exception with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to `Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable)`.
      Parameters:
        `message` - the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method.

    - #### ProtocolException

          public ProtocolException(String message,
                           Throwable cause)

      Constructs a new runtime exception with the specified detail message and cause. Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this runtime exception's detail message.
      Parameters:
        `message` - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method).
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

    - #### ProtocolException

          public ProtocolException(Throwable cause)

      Constructs a new runtime exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause). This constructor is useful for runtime exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables.
      Parameters:
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
