How do I log my JAVA SOAP request and response?
Summary
When make a SOAP request via Apache Axis generated eBay SOAP APIs and stubs, you can use org.apache.axis.Message and org.apache.commons.logging.Log APIs to log SOAP request and response messages.
Detailed Description
To use the sample, you need to use Apache Axis wsdj2java tool to generate Java code stubs against eBay API WSDL .
Here are the Axis Client Handler LogMessages and getLog methods that use XMLUtils to convert a given SOAP message to Java String object and print the message out with org.apache.commons.logging.Log API.
The complete source code can be downloaded below.
private static org.apache.commons.logging.Log apiLog = LogFactory.getLog(ClientCredentialHandler.class);
private static Message req ;
public static void getLog(){
LogMessage("Request", req.getMessageContext().getRequestMessage());
LogMessage("Response",req.getMessageContext().getResponseMessage());
}
private static void LogMessage(String msgName, org.apache.axis.Message msg) {
try {
if (msg ==null ){
return;
}else {
String s = XMLUtils.DocumentToString(
msg.getSOAPEnvelope().getAsDocument());
String hs = java.text.MessageFormat.format("{0} Message: Length={1}",
new Object[] {msgName, new Integer(s.length())}
);
System.out.println("LogMessage : " + hs);
apiLog.info(hs);
apiLog.info(s);
}
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
apiLog.info("ClientCredentialHandler: failed to log SOAP message.");
}
}
