Answer 1

This can be done programmatically (invasive) or by configuration without changing any code. This page documents how to configure JAX-WS RI:

To dump SOAP messages on the client side, use the following system property:

-Dcom.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true

To dump SOAP messages on the server side, use the following system property:

-Dcom.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump=true

Answer 2

Set the following VM property:

-Dcom.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true
