Debugging GroovyWS. Get the actual generated XML

Question

I'm using GroovyWS in a Grails app to connect to an external SOAP server.

I'd like to see the actual XML that is generated by GroovyWS since I'm getting errors without any useful information.

I know I can use wireshark or something similar, but there really should be an easier way.

Printing the object just prints the Java Object@... string.

Answer 1

Membrane SOA Monitor is kind of similar to wireshark but it is specialiced in SOAP messages.It is easy to use and it formats the XML messages. You can also block a request, modify it and than send it to the service.
