Print Soap request/response XMLs

[toni lee]

Is there a way to print the SOAP request/response XMLs, from soap objects? Maybe, before Call.invoke method is being invoked?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can use "writeTo" method of SOAPMessage Object.Let me know if it works or not ?...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that we're using Axis. I have a handle to the org.apache.axis.client.Call object, and I tried getting a handle on the SoapMessage object by doing _call.getMessageContext().getMessage(), but that returned null. getRequestMessage() and getResponseMessage() returned null too.

I guess the right way to handle this is to find the trigger in the server config to turn on logging of soap calls. But the reason I'm looking for an alternative fix is because no one seems to know where or what that flag is.

Hi Toni,

In that case you can use the " TCP/IP Monitor" of Axis to see what's data is going and coming on wire.

use tcpmon utility class provided with AXIS to monitor SOAP requests & Response.

Hi,

The simple solution is:

String requestXML = _call.getMessageContext().getRequestMessage().getSOAPPartAsString();
String responseXML = _call.getMessageContext().getResponseMessage().getSOAPPartAsString();

(insert after _call.invoke(...))
