I am following description "Enabling message logging using the Logging feature" at http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/configuration.html http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/configuration.html . I'd like to be able to see the raw SOAP messages that my CXF-based client sends to the server and responses that come from the server.
I want to use log4j, and have found from http://www.techper.net/2008/01/30/configuring-cxf-logging-to-go-through-log4j/ http://www.techper.net/2008/01/30/configuring-cxf-logging-to-go-through-log4j/ how to do it. In my src directory I've created META-INF/cxf/org.apache.cxf.Logger file that contains a single line: org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger To run the client, which happens to be a webapp, I don't need cxf-2.0.4-incubator.jar, and everything just works (except I don't see the raw SOAP messages). In order to be able to use the class org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger, I have to add the cxf-2.0.4-incubator.jar to the WEB-INF/lib directory. Now I am getting a NullPointerException in spring class org.apache.cxf.bus.spring.BusApplicationContext, line 78: public void setConfigLocations(String[] locations) { Assert.noNullElements(locations, "Config locations must not be null"); this.configLocations = new String[locations.length]; // <== NPE, due to locations == null for (int i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) { this.configLocations[i] = resolvePath(locations[i]); } } which is caused because null is being passed from BusApplicationContext's base class constructor in class org.apache.cxf.bus.spring.BusApplicationContext: public BusApplicationContext(String cf, boolean include, ApplicationContext parent) { super((String[])null, false, parent); // <== this null causes the above NPE cfgFile = cf; includeDefaults = include; refresh(); } Before the NPE is thrown, I see that LogUtils correctly initializes org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger for logging: LogUtils.java ( 72) : Using org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger for logging. My environment consists of: CXF 2.0.4 Spring 2.5.2 Struts2 2.0.11 tomcat 6.0.16 So what am I doing wrong? Is this a spring question? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/CXF-client-side-logging-setup-with-spring-throws-NPE-tp16345372p16345372.html Sent from the cxf-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
