Client SOAP Logging with jbossws-cxf-3.1.2.GA and JBossAS 5.

[mcheely]

I'm trying to enable SOAP client message logging on an application running on JBossAS 5.1.0.GA with jbossws-cxf-3.1.2.GA installed.

There are instructions at http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JBossWS-StackCXFUserGuide, but they discuss a file in jbossws-cxf.sar, which doesn't seem to be present anywhere in my app server.

Within the META-INF folder of my project's ear I have the following jbossws-cxf.xml file:

<beans
 xmlns='http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans'
 xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
 xmlns:beans='http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans'
 xmlns:jaxws='http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws'
 xmlns:cxf="http://cxf.apache.org/core"
 xmlns:http-conf="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration"
 xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
 http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws
 http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd'>

 <bean id="logInbound" class="org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor"/>
 <bean id="logOutbound" class="org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor"/>

 <bean id="cxf" class="org.apache.cxf.bus.CXFBusImpl">
 <property name="inInterceptors">
 <list>
 <ref bean="logInbound"/>
 </list>
 </property>
 <property name="outInterceptors">
 <list>
 <ref bean="logOutbound"/>
 </list>
 </property>
 <property name="outFaultInterceptors">
 <list>
 <ref bean="logOutbound"/>
 </list>
 </property>
 </bean>


 <!-- one or more jaxws:endpoint EJB3 declarations -->
 <jaxws:endpoint
 id='CostingService'
 address='http://127.0.0.1:8080/Coster/CostingService'
 implementor='com.foo.zcg.webservice.CostingService'>
 <jaxws:handlers >
 <bean class='org.jboss.seam.webservice.SOAPRequestHandler'/>
 </jaxws:handlers >
 </jaxws:endpoint>

</beans>

I'm still not seeing any output in the server logs. I have the logging level for "org.apache.cxf" and for "org.jboss.ws.core.MessageTrace" set to TRACE.

Is there something I'm missing here? Can anybody enlighten me on how I can log messages for client requests from this app?

Besides that, you can still manually add the logging beans providing a custom jbossws-cxf.xml file in your deployment, take a look at the jbossws-cxf samples to see where to put the file to make sure it's picked up.

Thanks for spotting the issue in the doc.

Actually, I have tried the above custom jbossws-cxf.xml file in the META-INF folder of my application's deployment, as described here: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JBossWS-StackCXFUserGuide but it had no effect on message logging (the endpoint configuration works correctly).

However, I have found that if I put a cxf.xml file with the logging configuration in WEB-INF/classes in my deployed app, logging seems to work. It's a bit of an inelegant solution, but I'm using it as a workaround for now. [/url]

I've update the doc at http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JBossWS-StackCXFUserGuide#SOAP_Message_Logging. Basically, as you can get from the changes for JBWS-2765 and JBWS-2836, the doc there was out of date as the referred configuration file was not installed in recent jbossws-cxf versions.
Thanks
