               <context>XIAdapter</context>

               <code>ADAPTER.JAVA_EXCEPTION</code>

               <text>See log trace with id: n/a</text>

            </s:SystemError>

         </detail>

      </SOAP:Fault>

You want to receive more information about "id n/a" and for this purpose you want use a XI Inspector
