Store Axis raw XML request/response in session (to be used in JSP)

ryanprayogo picture ryanprayogo · Apr 27, 2011 · Viewed 10.2k times · Source

How, if possible, do I get the raw XML request/response that is invoked/retrieved by Axis in my application?

I'm using WSDL2Java that is included with Axis to generate the Java stubs.

EDIT:

What I currently have is an app that uses Axis to handle the remote API calls.

One of the requirement is to 'store' all the XML request/response from these calls in the session so that it will be available in the JSP (for debugging purposes). How can I achieve this?

I tried writing a custom handler that extends BasicHandler but in that handler, I still can't get the HttpServletRequest/HttpServletResponse pair from the MessageContext

After a while searching its as simple as this:

//After your _call.invoke(...);

//Request
String request = _call.getMessageContext().getRequestMessage().getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().getBody().toString();

//Response
String response = _call.getMessageContext().getResponseMessage().getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().getBody().toString();

where _call is org.apache.axis.client.Call

Then you can save it in a file where you want...
