logging SOAP message to log4J and not system.out

[acxsjones]

I am having problems going from SOAPMessageContext

to a string that I can pass to Log4J.

I can send it to smc.writeTo(System.out) but I do not want it to System.out. All of our logging is done via Log4J

[acxsjones]

OK this is what I have working. Let me know if there is a better way

private void logSoapMessage(MessageContext msgContext) {
 try {
 SOAPMessageContext smc = (SOAPMessageContext) msgContext;
 SOAPMessage message = smc.getMessage();


 //Set the output for the transformation
 StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();

 StreamResult result = new StreamResult(writer);
 TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
 transformer.transform(message.getSOAPPart().getContent(), result);


 log.info(writer.getBuffer());


 } catch (Exception e) {
 log.fatal("Exception caught in handler", e);
 throw new JAXRPCException(e.toString(), e);

 }

 }

What about

baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
SOAPMessage.writeTo(baos);
log.debug(baos);

But we log.debug() all incomming and outgoing messages anyway.
