SoapMonitor Service

[Shriram Kollipara <Sh...@motorola.com>]

Hi,

    After digging throught the archives I found a post from Dennis
Sosnoski which explained how to run the soapmonitor service. I performed
all the steps mentioned at this URL: 

http://www.sosnoski.com/presents/java-xml/axis/axis-monitor.html

I am still not able to see any soap messages. The only thing the applet
performs is, it shutsdown when i stop and restart my container. I am
trying to find if anyone got this working. Any replies would be of great
help in continuing my work.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Shriram,

try using tcpmon.

it's easy to setup and i think the only difference in the use of tcpmon vs.
SOAPMonitor is that tcpmon must be run locally.  you can still monitor
remote services and clients if you have access to the Call object's endpoint
setting in the client code. take a look at the Axis User Guide and try it if
you haven't already.

tcpmon receives the http request, including soap message, of course, since
the Listen Port # is that of your endpoint.  this is when you see the
incoming soap request.  so i guess it's the same view of the message as
SOAPMonitor except you have the added benefit / distraction of a few
characters of http header.

tcpmon then forwards the request to the service whose location is specified
as Target Hostname and Target Port # under Act as a ... Listener.  the
service then replies to tcpmon and this is where you see the response,
including http header and soap message, before forwarding the response to
the client.

good luck.

Hi Shri,

It sounds like you have the applet itself working okay. I've sometimes 
seen problems with the applet not able to connect to the server (you get 
a message in red on the applet when this occurs, I think). Aside from 
that I'd suggest you double check your configuration. If you look at the 
server-config.wsdd file inside your servlet's axis/WEB-INF directory you 
can make sure that the service you're trying to monitor has been 
deployed with requestFlow and responseFlow definitions including the 
soapmonitor handler (as shown on the page you referenced). This sounds 
like the most likely cause of your problems - if you don't see these 
flows defined for the service, you'll need to undeploy and redeploy that 
service to get the flows set up using soapmonitor.
