capturing SOAP envelope in axis

[Rishi Renjith]

Hello,
I have a situation where i need to get the actual SOAP envelope (including the SOAP body ) before making a request. ie just before calling "call.invoke ( object )" in axis.

Is there any way to get the actual SOAP envelope request that is being sent?

I checked the APIs available for axis, but could not find any.

No, the SOAP envelope doesn't exist until the call is made. However you can write (and register) a handler that has access to the SOAP envelope.

Axis 1.x
org.apache.axis.handlers
org.apache.axis.Handler.invoke(org.apache.axis.MessageContext)
org.apache.axis.MessageContext

Axis2
org.apache.axis2.handlers
org.apache.axis2.engine.Handler.invoke(org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext)
org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext
