/**
 * ExceptionFactory is used to create exceptions within the JAX-WS implementation. There are several
 * reasons for using a factory to create exceptions. 1. We can intercept all exception creation and
 * add the appropriate logging/serviceability. 2. Exceptions are chained.  ExceptionFactory can
 * lengthen or reduce the cause chains as necessary to support the JAX-WS programming model. 3.
 * Prevents construction of the same exception.  Uses similar principles as
 * AxisFault.makeException.
 * <p/>
 * Example Usage: // Example usage
 * <p/>
 * public fooMethod() throws WebServiceException { try{ ... } catch(Exception e){ throw
 * ExceptionFactory.makeWebServiceException(e); } }
