JAX-WS logging & timestamp

Question

I am using JAX-WS in WebLogic and I was able to enable the message logging by using following parameters (as specified at https://metro.java.net/guide/ch02.html#logging):

com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump=true
com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true

The log entries however do not contain any timestamps so I have almost no information about when each message was received/sent.

Is there any way to add timestamps to the resulting log entries?

Answer 1

I have finally found a solution for this.

The only thing that must be done is to redirect stdout logging to WebLogic logging system by checking “Redirect stdout logging enabled” in Advanced logging section of your managed server’s configuration (e.g. Logging -> General -> Advanced).

This will add timestamps to the SOAP message logs.

I guess you need to configure log messages format:

java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format="%4$s: %5$s [%1$tc]%n
