Trace and logging for WSIF

The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) offers trace points at the opening and closing of ports, the invocation of services, and the responses from services. WSIF also includes a SimpleLog utility that can run trace when you are using WSIF outside of WebSphere Application Server.

About this task

If you want to enable trace for the WSIF API within WebSphere Application Server, and have trace, stdout and stderr for the application server written to a well-known location, see Enabling tracing and logging.

To trace the WSIF API, you need to specify the following trace string:

wsif=all=enabled

To enable the WSIF SimpleLog utility, through which you can run trace when using WSIF outside of WebSphere Application Server, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Create a file named commons-logging.properties with the following contents:
    org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl
    org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog
    
  2. Create a file named simplelog.properties with the following contents:
    org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog=trace
    org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showShortLogname=true
    org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime=true
    
  3. Put both these files, and the commons-logging.jar file, on the class path.

Results

The SimpleLog utility writes trace to the System.err file.
