I've been working with axis2 now for a few weeks and overall, I've found the experience enjoyable, but quite frustrating at times.

Apologies for the frustrating times :(.

One of the frustrating times came today with trying to implement the logging of the raw SOAP XML messages that are received and sent by the server.

There are errors on the following web page: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_2/modules.html

If you look under Step3 : module.xml you'll see the example given for the logging module's config file.

There are 5 errors (at least for my setup) for that example config.

Ouch. Can you please open a JIRA? We'll fix them ASAP.

Documentation Clarification... I don't think this is mentioned anywhere in the documentation, but from what I've read it SEEMS as though the *.aar and *.mar files are required for deploying services and modules.

However, the *.aar and *.mar files are not required. (As I'm sure many people know but, isn't mentioned in the online documentation very well.

Good point .. please add that comment on the JIRA- suggestions on where to fix it would be great. Patch would be better :).

Finally a question about logging. Why is the logging of the raw SOAP XML so difficult? I would hope that there would be a simple entry into a log4j.properties file and the request and response would be outputted. Or having a service reference a logging module. Why force people to go through the rigmarole of adding a new module and runner? Isn't there lots of people that want to log the raw SOAP XML?

Hmmmm good point. +1 from me for it. Please open a JIRA as an enhancement.

I know this email must seem critical, but i do like Axis2. I just wish it was easier to work with and was configured to be added to a current system better.

Thanks for your positive and constructive feedback!

Sanjiva.
