Print XML content of SOAP message

Question

I am using Apache CXF for my webservices. I've created an instance of AbstractSoapInterceptor. In its public void handleMessage(SoapMessage message) throws Fault method I would like to print the XML content of the intercepted message to the console. How can I achieve that?

Check this out and search for INBOUND INTERCEPTOR. Will place it here for reference...

public class InterceptorMensajeSOAPIn extends AbstractSoapInterceptor {

      private static Logger log =
Logger.getLogger(InterceptorMensajeSOAPIn.class);



      private SAAJInInterceptor saajIn = new SAAJInInterceptor();

      public InterceptorMensajeSOAPIn(){

            super(Phase.PRE_PROTOCOL);

            getAfter().add(SAAJInInterceptor.class.getName());

      } 


      public void handleMessage(SoapMessage message) throws Fault {

        SOAPMessage soapMessage = getSOAPMessage(message);

        try {

                  soapMessage.writeTo(System.out);

            } catch (Exception e) {

                  e.printStackTrace();

            }
      }


      private SOAPMessage getSOAPMessage(SoapMessage smsg){

            SOAPMessage soapMessage = smsg.getContent(SOAPMessage.class);

        if (soapMessage == null) {

            saajIn.handleMessage(smsg);

            soapMessage = smsg.getContent(SOAPMessage.class);

        }   

        return soapMessage;

      }
}

Any reason you cannot just use the LogggingInInterceptor that is shipped with CXF? You could just grab the code for that and use that as a basis, but in 2.3, the LoggingInInterceptor was enhanced to allow specifying a printstream and such to use, so it might "just work".
