How to visualize sent XML stream with a CXF generated client

Question

Hi ! I would like to be able to see the XML Stream generated by my CXF generated from WSDL client. Is there a way to do this ?

For example, I'm building my request with Java objects, and I would like to see the XML stream built by CXF before it sends it to the server.

Thank you for your answer !

Answer 1

You can use TCPMon to capture the web service requests and responses as they're sent and received.

Answer 2

You can use the LoggingInterceptors CXF includes.

See: http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/debugging.html

Answer 3

If you want to see the XML payload formatted try Membrane Monitor. It is an interceptor like TCPMon.
