UML-to-WSDL tranformation: meaningful fault names

Trying to achieve:
*Add named exceptions/faults to an interface operation in the model
*Run UML-to-WSDL and get a WSDL with operations/faults/fault messages

Current approach:
1. Start with an interface with an operation that has input/output
message defined
2. Add a parameter, set name to for example "PersonNotFound", set
direction "out"
3. Press the parameter, go to Advanced tab and set "Is Exception" to
"true"
4. Run transformation
Current result:
* The fault is added, but the fault message does not have
"PersonNotFound" in the name, but rather
"Fault1".
* When using WSDL2Java or wsimport, the message name is used, which is
very cryptic
Proposed solution:
*Generate fault message name based on the pattern _ instead of _fault

    Modeled Business faults in WSDL are a major SOA top down differentiator. This feature would allow for the Business Process to better express the expected outcomes for the interface.
