JAX-WS SOAP Handler
I stumbled on this article where Rob Flynn describes a technique to handle SOAP requests from a central point using the bowstreet.serviceCall.jaxwsHandler override. I used this approach to add some log4j logging statements, this way I don't have to go into each builder and tweak the input and redeploy, I can just change the log4j.properties. Unbelievably, a google search shows that there are no other references to this override - not even in IBM's documentation. I have to wonder how many other awesome WEF features lay undocumented (ask me about pageprocessors.properties).
public class SoapHandler extends BaseJaxWsHandler {
static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(SoapHandler.class);
/*
* Populate the user's identity into the SOAP request.
*/
public boolean handleOutboundMessage(SOAPMessageContext context) {
// bail if logging not enabled
if (!logger.isInfoEnabled())
return;
logMessage(context);
return true;
}
/**
* Log the SOAP message.
* @param context
*/
private void logMessage(SOAPMessageContext context) {
// bail if logging not enabled
if (!logger.isInfoEnabled())
return;
try {
HashMap hm = (HashMap) context.get(com.ibm.websphere.webservices.Constants.REQUEST_TRANSPORT_PROPERTIES);
Set keys = hm.keySet();
logger.info(">> Start SOAP message log");
logger.info("calling Model=" + getWebappAccess().getModelName());
logger.info(this.getEndPointUrl(context));
for (Object key : keys){
logger.info("HTTP header -> " + key + "=" + hm.get(key));
}
logger.info(context.getMessage().getSOAPPart().getEnvelope());
logger.info(">> End SOAP message log\n");
} catch (SOAPException e) {
// we're just logging, not sure we care that an exception is thrown
}
}
}
The parent class BaseJaxWsHandler can be found on Rob's entry mentioned above.
