import javax.xml.ws.WebFault;

@WebFault(faultBean = "mytest.com.inc.FaultBean")
public class InvalidInputException extends Exception {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    private FaultBean faultBean;

    public InvalidInputException() {
        super();
    }

    public InvalidInputException(String message, FaultBean faultBean,
            Throwable cause) {
        super(message, cause);
        this.faultBean = faultBean;
    }

    public InvalidInputException(String message, FaultBean faultBean) {
        super(message);
        this.faultBean = faultBean;
    }

Last time I saw this error, it was due by a missmatch of version of JAX-WS used (2.1.x and 2.2.x) You are maybe compiling against the 2.1.x version but running against 2.2.x, or the other way round.

Keep in mind that the JDK 6 includes the 2.1.x version of JAX-WS, so you might have to use the endorsed library mechanism to force the usage of 2.2.x
