Trace SOAP Message in WebSphere

Enable trace for a Web Services for Java 2 enterprise edition (J2EE) server application.

• Start WebSphere Application Server.
• Open the administrative console.
• Click Servers > Application Servers > server.
• Click Change Log Detail Levels.
• Add or delete the trace string in the text box.
• For this task, delete the trace string *=info and add the trace string com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.*=all=enabled. OR
• Type the trace string directly into the text box. You must separate each trace string by a colon (:) with no spaces. For example: com.ibm.ws.webservices.trace.MessageTrace =finest:com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.Message=finest

This will log the soap message in trace.log file.
