Disable CXF logging for one web service

Question

In my application I would like to log request and response with business logic. Application does some backend logic with SOAP communication and this is what I want to log.

Unfornatly in this same application I must serve data ( avg. is 4 request/s) Let's say this service name is PlatformDataService.

How to turn off cxf logging for only one web service?

Enviorment:

• JDK 8
• cxf 2.7.14
• AS : Jboss EAP 6.4

I turn on login on server by:

• add logger org.apache.cxf INFO
• and system property org.apache.cxf.logging.enabled=true

You can extend LoggingInInterceptor and LoggingOutInterceptor . Based on the soapAction you can ignore only logging for one service.

Extend LoggingOutInterceptor for all the outbound requests and override method handleMessage like this.

private boolean doNotLog=false;

public void handleMessage(Message message) throws Fault {
    TreeMap<String,List> protocolHeaders =
            (TreeMap<String, List>) message.get("org.apache.cxf.message.Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS");
    if (protocolHeaders != null) {
        List value = protocolHeaders.get("SOAPAction");
        String soapAction = value != null ? (String)value.get(0) : "";
        if (soapAction.equalIgnoreCase(YOUR_SERVICE_SOAP_ACTION)) {
            doNotLog=true;
        }
    }
    super.handleMessage(message);
}

Now there is one more method you have to override in the same class.

@Override
    protected String transform(String originalLogString) {
        if (doNotLog) {
            return null;
        }
        return originalLogString;
    } 

For all inbound responses, extend LoggingInInterceptor and only override transform method. You can just check the responseType from the originalLogString and ignore it.
