Enable logging for requests, responses

[maeckie]

Hi,

we have an issue with our server where it seems to only send partial responses at times, non at all sometiems and otherwise working as intended.
I have tried using tcpdump to get a picture of what is going in/out from the server but I would like to get a mored detailed picture of what the server is doing.

There is no logging in our applictation for these methods which fails, so what I would like to do is enable logging on the JBoss/tomcat for all incoming and outgoing traffic.

Is there a way of doing this? My skills in log4j is unfortunatly not the best..
Any help would be much appriciated.

Regards
Marcus

At tomcat level, you can have a dump of the request and an access log as well by uncommenting the following Valves into server.xml

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve" />



 <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
 prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".log"
 pattern="common" directory="${jboss.server.log.dir}"
 resolveHosts="false" />

As for the response I guess you might programmatically dump both request and response using a Servlet filter....

hope it helps
