don't know if this is the best way to do it - but think it does what you're asking for.
Add a handler (see my other post today about this) and make it print out the SOAP messages as they come in and go out

does this help ?

Example code which I've just tried and seems to work

  
package mike;
 
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.rpc.handler.GenericHandler;
import javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPPart;
 
import com.sun.xml.rpc.soap.message.SOAPMessageContext;
 
public class RequestResponsePrinter extends GenericHandler{
 
public QName[] getHeaders() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}

public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext context) {
try {
SOAPMessageContext smc = (SOAPMessageContext)context;
SOAPMessage msg = smc.getMessage();
System.out.println("request:");
msg.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println("");

} catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
//throw new RuntimeException( ex );
}
return true;
}
 
public boolean handleResponse(MessageContext context) {
try {
SOAPMessageContext smc = (SOAPMessageContext)context;
SOAPMessage msg = smc.getMessage();
System.out.println("response:");
msg.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println("");

} catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
//throw new RuntimeException( ex );
}
return true;
}
 

}

Can you tell me how to use this class??

[michael warren]

you need to read up on how to use handlers, my post here gives some details
http://www.coderanch.com/t/148792/java-Web-Services-SCDJWS/certification/configuring-handlers-programmatically

perhaps have a look here for more stuff about handlers

One more easier way is to use netmon or tcpmon tool to intercept the messages

1. TCP/IP Monitor in eclipse plugin too can help
Let us assume Webservice is runninig in Port A
Now in the client code, change the endpoint port address to B ( Local Port at which the tcp ip tool listens and redirects to Port A
Local Port is B
Server Port is A
Once you give hit to the service using client code, you can able to see the messages in the tool

Actually,I want to store the XML in a database.I dont want to use TCPMon.Can anyone tell me how to do this using Axis ??

Thanks and Regards,

How are you going to store xml in DB.
1. You want parse and store the information
2. or You want to dumb the Xml file itself in DB

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I looked at their Wiki and I must have over-looked this.

If you have class which implements org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBBean this interface then its pretty simple to get Soap Request and Soap response(i.e raw xml which is posted from client)
call this method on the object
getOMElement(null, OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory()).toStringWithConsume())
This will give you Soap request or response based on object which you call method on.

Hi,
Here the problem is, Request and Response methods are different,
Is there a way to handle "Request XML Messages or HttpServletRequest" in response scope..
I mean Is there a way to get "request Soap Message" while inbound direction ( meaning while getting response... )

My AxisHandler implements "SOAPHandler"..

(Otherwise I need to save "RequestXML_Message" in a Class variable up to getting response or fault message,
After getting ResponseXML or Fault then I will able to log all the Messages together..
But keeping the requestMessage in a class variable is not a safe state i think..)

I have tried the following code but it always returns "nullPointerException.."

@Override
public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext soapMessageContext) {
    boolean direction = ((Boolean) soapMessageContext.get(SOAPMessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY)).booleanValue();        
    if (direction) {
        System.out.println("direction = outbound");
    } else {
        System.out.println("direction = inbound");
        HttpServletRequest servletReq=(HttpServletRequest) soapMessageContext.get(MessageContext.SERVLET_REQUEST);
        // BECAUSE servletReq is null the following line returns a "nullPointerException"
        System.out.println(servletReq.getRemoteHost()); 
    }
    return true;
}

It worked for me as follows:

Just ensure that when you log the stuff, it is really on one line.
