Dump SOAP messages for web services in JBoss

[qwerty1234]

I am using vanilla JBoss AS7. I am trying to find documentation on how to turn on logging for SOAP message for incoming and outgoing web service calls.

I have tried the suggestions specified at the  here: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossWS-StackCXFUserGuide#SOAP_Message_Logging but I saw no difference in the generated log files. What am I doing wrong?

The documentation you're referring to is for JBossWS 3.x.

For JBossWS 4.x / JBoss AS 7.x, please refer to

• https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/JBWS/
• https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/

In particular, given this topic was not fully covered yet in the doc, I've just added the following:

Hi,

   One way to achieve the same in JBoss AS7 is to use the  "LoggingInInterceptor" and "LoggingOutInterceptor"  On server side or on Client side .

/* Following part of code is needed for client side Logging of Soap request/response */

        /* We need to make sure that we place the "log4j.properties" file inside clients classpath */

        Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);

        client.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());

        client.getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());

And

    http://cxf.apache.org/docs/debugging-and-logging.html

  On The Ser\ver Side  For CXF SOAP Message Logging we can use the following System Property:

    <system-properties>
                <property name="org.apache.cxf.logging.enabled" value="true"/>
     </system-properties>

You can use a proxy or if not possible (https) you can set this system-property

-Dcom.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true

to enable the dump of any jaxws-soap-network traffic. Google for it to find more details.

In Jboss AS 7.1 , in the configuration/standalone-full.xml (or which you use ) , you can add this

          <logger category="org.jboss.ws.core.MessageTrace">

                <level name="TRACE"/>

            </logger>

     And enable trace on console / file where needed. Also packages as org or javax should be set to warn level to avoid excessive logging

Another option is to use value="pretty" for nicely formatted xml output. See https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/bus/extension/ExtensionManagerBus.java#L68-L72
