Logging Messages

CXF includes two logging interceptors which output the incoming/outgoing messages to the Java log. To enable, you need to add these interceptors to your endpoint.

If you have a JAX-WS endpoint, you would want to do this:

import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
import org.apache.cxf.core.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.core.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl;


EndpointImpl ep = (EndpointImpl) Endpoint.publish("http://localhost/service", service);

ep.getServer().getEndpoint().getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
ep.getServer().getEndpoint().getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());

You can also enable message logging through CXF configuration.

Configure logging levels.

CXF uses Java SE Logging. In the /etc folder of the CXF distribution there is a sample logging.properties file you can use to configure logging. For example, if you want to change the console logging level from WARNING to FINE, you need to update two properties in this logging.properties file as below:

.level= FINE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINE

Once this done, you will need to set the -Djava.util.logging.config.file property to the location of the logging.properties file. As an example, the Ant target below has this property set:

<target name="runClient">
   <java classname="client.WSClient" fork="true">	    	
      <classpath>
         <pathelement location="${build.classes.dir}"/>
         <fileset dir="${env.CXF_HOME}/lib">
            <include name="*.jar"/>
         </fileset>
      </classpath>
      <jvmarg value="-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/usr/myclientapp/logging.properties"/>
   </java>
</target>

Debugging Tools

Tcpmon

TCPMon allows you to easily view messages as they go back and forth on the wire.

WSMonitor

WSMonitor has slightly more functionality than Tcpmon. Information on how to reconfigure clients to work with WSMonitor is available in this blog entry.

SOAP UI

SOAP UI can also be used for debugging. In addition to viewing messages, it allows you send messages and load test your services. It also has plugins for Eclipse, IDEA and NetBeans.
