Web service call logging under JBoss 5.1.0 GA

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for your time.

I am working on a platform that is running multiple web services on JBoss 5.1.0 GA with Java SE 1.7 on top of Solaris 10.

I am trying to obtain some idea as to how many calls are being made to the variety of web services that are offered by this platform, and I thought one approach would be to log the web service calls in a file and post process them afterwards.

I have fiddled around with the jboss-log4j.xml file, and followed some suggestion from other sources (below),

Dump SOAP messages for web services in JBoss

I was hoping to get more assistance with this, as I am new to the inner workings of JBoss solutions.

Kind regards,

Colin.

If all you want is the number of requests each endpoint has received, you can use the http://localhost:8080/jbossws/services to see the metrics of each endpoint and how many times it's been invoked. Logging each request is not a bad idea, but it has a knock on performance issue especially if you ramp up your incoming messages. The other approach is you just implement a counter in your actual server side code (or an EJB you can call and reset the count etc).

Hope that helps
