Handler.handleFault does not give access to the fault message

This handler should log all "request-response"-pairs to a log4j-Logger. When response is not a fault, than everthing works fine. When the response is a fault-message then the logger doesn't log the fault response. It logs the request 2-times.

In the function handleFault the call

SOAPMessageContext scontext = (SOAPMessageContext) msgContext;
SOAPMessage response = scontext.getMessage();

seems to return the request not the fault Message.
