Description

In AxisServlet.java, method doPost:

catch (AxisFault e) {
202 setResponseState(msgContext, response);
203 log.debug(e);
204 if (msgContext != null)

{ 205 processAxisFault(msgContext, response, out, e); 206 }

else

{ 207 throw new ServletException(e); 208 }

In "log.debug(e);" the log level should be changed to info or error.
And the debug method should also receive the AxisFault object, i.e.:

log.info(e, e);

so that log4j/slf4j whatever logging is in place records the stacktrace in the server side log.

In cases where the SOAP input is malformed (e.g. xs:string sent in place of xs:int) the code never exits auto-generated code and this debug line is all there is left in the server log file.
