Description

We are providing a webservice connected by multiple customers with no or not much technical knowledge and existing old software. To support them it would be helpful to be able to log webservice calls which even cant be parsed.

I have implemented a solution by replacing the OutFaultChainInitiatorObserver with a custom version which logs the in message before continuing.

public class MyOutFaultChainInitiatorObserver extends OutFaultChainInitiatorObserver {      

    @Override
    public void onMessage(final Message message) {
        MySlf4jVerboseEventSender.in.handleMessage(message);
        super.onMessage(message);
    }
}

But it is not ea really clean solution. Would be nice if it would be easier to configure/activate. Additionally I think the request is logged twice if it is parsable but fails with an other error.
