Exception never seems to get thrown when an AxisFault is found

Question

I have this catch statement:

} catch (Exception e) {
    if (e instanceof AxisFault) {
        LOGGER.info("AxisFault: " + e);
        if (((AxisFault) e).getFaultReason().contains("My error text")) {
            throw new MyServiceException(HPDatastoreProviderImpl.class.toString(),
                    "My error text");
        }
    } else {
        LOGGER.info("Failed: " + e);
    }
}

When it's hit I can see that LOGGER.info("AxisFault: " + e); seems to be ignored. The if statement is entered and I can see the debugger on line throw new MyServiceException(HiPlusDatastoreProviderImpl.class.toString(), "My error text"); but then it jumps to LOGGER.info("Failed: " + e);.

If I remove LOGGER.info("AxisFault: " + e); the if is never entered. It jumps straight to the else. MyServiceException never actually seems to be thrown. How do I resolve this?

Update

I updated my catch to:

} catch (Exception e) {
    if (e.getMessage().contains("My error text")) {
        throw new MyServiceException(HPDatastoreProviderImpl.class.toString(),
                "My error text");
    } else {
        LOGGER.info("Failed: " + e);
    }
}

The if doesn't get entered but on the catch I can see e={AxisFault@1914} "My error text in my debugger. That's the reason I thought this was an access fault. I feel I'm no further on with this.

There seems to have been some issue with my environment. After clearing my browser cache, restarting my laptop, then rebuilding the application it finally worked. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
