I'm trying to log my messages which are sent using a Metro stack into console. Could not find any way.

Message logging to stdout (valid for METRO only!):

On the client

Java 5: Set system property

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

Java 6: Set system property

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

On the server side

Set system property

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

  • -Dcom.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true is a saver for those needing to dump messages on the client side. – Ceki May 06 '11 at 09:27
  • People say that package is slightly different from java 1.6, namely: `-Dcom.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true` (note additional `internal` after `xml`). And I confirm that it's true. – dmitry Feb 11 '13 at 12:49

Here everything is explained:

https://metro.java.net/2.0/guide/Logging.html

The following options enable logging of all communication to the console (technically, you only need one of these, but that depends on the libraries you use, so setting all four is safer option). 

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

Didn't mention the language but assuming Java, could you not just use something like Log4J e.g.

service = new Service();
port = service.getXxxPort();
result = port.doXxx(data);

Log.info("Result is " + result.getResult().toString());

where getResult is just a method on the return object.
