You want to see the encrypted stuff or the pre-encrypted stuff? Here's how I dump the
envelopes in my client call code:
org.apache.axis.Message m = call.getMessageContext().getRequestMessage();
_requestEnvelope = (m == null) ? null : m.getSOAPEnvelope();
if (m != null)
logIt(StringUtil.strcat("Request Envelope:",
_requestEnvelope.toString()));
m = call.getMessageContext().getResponseMessage();
_responseEnvelope = (m == null) ? null : m.getSOAPEnvelope();
if (m != null)
logIt(StringUtil.strcat("Response Envelope:",
_responseEnvelope.toString()));

Subject: capturing SOAP XML in a client for debug?
What's the absolute simplest way for a SOAP client written with Axis
to capture the XML sent and received to an SSL service and display it
for debugging purposes? I'm looking for something I can use for user
support, so it needs to be really easy.
Here are the ways I know to capture the XML and the drawbacks:
tcpmon (or other packet sniffing approaches like SOAPScope):
Doesn't work for SSL. (SOAPScope has this ability but it's not
readily available.)
SOAP Monitor:
Requires special access to the server
logging configuration:
Requires user understands how to configure log4j / java.util.logging /
whatever on the client. This seems fairly complicated.
What would be ideal for me is a single static method call, something
like "org.apache.axis.Foo.dumpXmlToStderr(true);".
