How to dump the raw SOAP Envelope?
Hi,
we use Axis 1.2 Alpha with Tomcat 4.0.3 and Castor 0.95 for a
SOAP-Service. Sometimes we have customers you are not accustomed to SOAP
and have lots of problems using our Service. The problems range from
simple typos and wrong namespaces to forgetting the SOAP-Envelope.
Whenever Axis and Castor are unable to determine the right Service or
(Un-)marshal the message, the most the customers can see (and therefore
us) is a simple AxisFault. Unfortunately that does not help us see what
exactly is going wrong. So, is there a way for Axis to dump the complete
raw SOAP Envelope _before_ doing its work, so that we can something?
Many thanks in advance,
Jin-Ha Tchoe

Hi Jin-Ha,
Have you taken a look at wsabi4axis, an open source Web Services Management
Platform (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wsabi4axis)? *One* of the features
of wsabi4axis is the ability to persist each and every request/response for
your service into a database and then view the raw envelopes via the wsabi4axis
web application. You can also view the transport (most likely http) headers
assoicated with the request.
For a demo:
1. Goto http://demo.wsabi.org
2. Click on "Monitor"
3. Click on "Audit Logs"
4. Choose "YahooUserPingService" and a time range
5. You will see a table with client request summaries
6. Click on the timestamp for detailed view of the request/response

Hi all,
thanks so far.
Would the LogHandler that is supplied with Axis be sufficient for my
needs? If yes, how do I configure that damn thing? I tried the following
in the server-config.wsdd
- Under the deployment-Tag I inserted :
<handler name="LogHandler"
type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.LogHandler">
<parameter name="writeToConsole" value="false"/>
<parameter name="fileName" value="/tmp/Axis_Raw.log"/>
</handler>
- then I uncommented the LogHandler-handlertag in the http-Transport so
that is looks like this:
<transport name="http">
<requestFlow>
<handler type="LogHandler"/>
<handler type="URLMapper"/>
<handler
type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.http.HTTPAuthHandler"/>
</requestFlow>
</transport>
I must be doing something wrong here, but I didn't find any examples on
how to configure the LogHandler.
Regards,
Jin-Ha Tchoe

I would have thought so....
For example, in SOAPpy (a python SOAP library), it is
#---
s = SOAPProxy(
"http://localhost:8080/axis/EchoHeaders.jws",
"",
"" )
s.config.dumpSOAPOut = 1
s.config.dumpSOAPIn = 1
#---
The last 2 lines dumps the SOAP packet.

Hmmm... I think that any protocol wrapper library should have raw logging
available at DEBUG level. That's one thing I love about Commons HttpClient.

Why don't you trace the soap message on TCP level using a tool like
ngrep or ethereal?

You can write a tiny logging handler to do something like -
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter(128);
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(env), new StreamResult(stringWriter));
StringBuffer buffer = stringWriter.getBuffer();

Try WSABI... available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wsabi4axis/
It comes with handlers to persist SOAP messages.. both request and response.
