| <h1>Using the SOAP Monitor</h1> |
| |
| |
| <p><b>Warning: the SOAP Monitor uses a protocol based on Java serialization |
| and is therefore vulnerable to attacks. It should be used exclusively as a |
| development and debugging tool, but never be permanently enabled on production |
| systems.</b></p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Web service developers often want to see the SOAP messages that are being |
| used to invoke the Web services, along with the results of those messages. |
| The goal of the SOAP Monitor utility is to provide a way for the developers |
| to monitor these SOAP messages without requiring any special configuration or |
| restarting the server.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>In this utility, a handler has been written and added to the global |
| handler chain. As SOAP requests and responses are received, the SOAP message |
| information is forwarded to a SOAP monitor service where it can be displayed |
| using a Web browser interface. The SOAP message information is accessed by a |
| Web browser by going to http://localhost:8080/axis2/SOAPMonitor (where 8080 |
| is the port number where the application server is running). The SOAP message |
| information is displayed through a Web browser by using an applet that opens |
| a socket connection to the SOAP monitor service. This applet requires a Java |
| plug-in 1.3 or higher to be installed in your browser. If you do not have a |
| correct plug-in, the browser will prompt you to install one. The port used by |
| the SOAP monitor service to communicate with applets is configurable. Edit |
| the web.xml file to change the port used by the Axis2 Web application.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>The SOAP Monitor module (soapmonitor.mar) is available in the axis2.war |
| but it is not engaged by default. The SOAP Monitor is NOT enabled by default |
| for security reasons.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>The SOAP Monitor can be engaged by inserting the following in the |
| axis2.xml file.</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <pre> <module ref="soapmonitor"/></pre></div> |
| |
| <p>In the axis2.xml file, define your phase orders for the 'soapmonitorPhase' |
| referenced in the module.xml of soapmonitor.mars. Below is an example which |
| should NOT be copied exactly, since the default phases change occasionally. |
| The important point here is that 'soapmonitorPhase' should be placed under |
| the 'user can add his own phases to this area' comment in the 'inflow', |
| 'outflow', 'INfaultflow', and 'Outfaultflow' sections.</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <pre> <phaseOrder type="inflow"> |
| <!--System pre defined phases--> |
| <phase name="TransportIn"/> |
| <phase name="PreDispatch"/> |
| <phase name="Dispatch" class="org.apache.axis2.engine.DispatchPhase"> |
| <handler name="AddressingBasedDispatcher" |
| class="org.apache.axis2.dispatchers.AddressingBasedDispatcher"> |
| <order phase="Dispatch"/> |
| </handler> |
| <handler name="RequestURIBasedDispatcher" |
| class="org.apache.axis2.dispatchers.RequestURIBasedDispatcher"> |
| <order phase="Dispatch"/> |
| </handler> |
| <handler name="SOAPActionBasedDispatcher" |
| class="org.apache.axis2.dispatchers.SOAPActionBasedDispatcher"> |
| <order phase="Dispatch"/> |
| </handler> |
| <handler name="SOAPMessageBodyBasedDispatcher" |
| class="org.apache.axis2.dispatchers.SOAPMessageBodyBasedDispatcher"> |
| <order phase="Dispatch"/> |
| </handler> |
| <handler name="InstanceDispatcher" |
| class="org.apache.axis2.engine.InstanceDispatcher"> |
| <order phase="PostDispatch"/> |
| </handler> |
| </phase> |
| <!--System pre defined phases--> |
| <!--After Postdispatch phase module author or or service author can add any phase he want--> |
| <phase name="userphase1"/> |
| <phase name="soapmonitorPhase"/> |
| </phaseOrder> |
| <phaseOrder type="outflow"> |
| <!--user can add his own phases to this area--> |
| <phase name="userphase1"/> |
| <phase name="soapmonitorPhase"/> |
| <!--system predefined phase--> |
| <!--these phase will run irrespective of the service--> |
| <phase name="PolicyDetermination"/> |
| <phase name="MessageOut"/> |
| </phaseOrder> |
| <phaseOrder type="INfaultflow"> |
| <!--user can add his own phases to this area--> |
| <phase name="userphase1"/> |
| <phase name="soapmonitorPhase"/> |
| </phaseOrder> |
| <phaseOrder type="Outfaultflow"> |
| <!--user can add his own phases to this area--> |
| <phase name="userphase1"/> |
| <phase name="soapmonitorPhase"/> |
| <phase name="PolicyDetermination"/> |
| <phase name="MessageOut"/> |
| </phaseOrder></pre></div> |
| |
| |
| <p>To configure the servlet to communicate with the applet, add the following |
| code to the web.xml (The SOAPMonitorPort is configurable.):</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <pre> <servlet> |
| <servlet-name>SOAPMonitorService</servlet-name> |
| <display-name>SOAPMonitorService</display-name> |
| <servlet-class> |
| org.apache.axis2.soapmonitor.servlet.SOAPMonitorService |
| </servlet-class> |
| <init-param> |
| <param-name>SOAPMonitorPort</param-name> |
| <param-value>5001</param-value> |
| </init-param> |
| <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> |
| </servlet> |
| |
| <servlet-mapping> |
| <servlet-name>SOAPMonitorService</servlet-name> |
| <url-pattern>/SOAPMonitor</url-pattern> |
| </servlet-mapping></pre></div> |
| |
| |
| <p>Finally, the applet classes must be placed into the Web application so that |
| they can be loaded by the Web browser. You can get the compiled applet |
| classes from the WEB-INF/lib/axis2-soapmonitor-servlet-1.8.2.jar which is inside |
| the extracted axis2.war. To extract the content of the file, simply |
| execute the command, <code>jar -xf axis2-soapmonitor-servlet-1.8.2.jar</code>. |
| The applet code is in the org.apache.axis2.soapmonitor.applet package and therefore |
| the 'org' directory created by the unpacking of JAR file should be placed |
| in <CATALINA_HOME>/webapps/axis2/.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Using a Web browser, go to http[s]://host[:port][/webapp]/SOAPMonitor |
| (e.g.http://localhost:8080/axis2/SOAPMonitor) substituting the correct values |
| for your Web application. This will show the SOAP Monitor applet used to view |
| the service requests and responses. Any requests to services that have been |
| configured and deployed correctly should show up in the applet.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>The SOAPMonitor with attachments currently serializes themselves as base64 |
| characters. It is therefore recommended to use the TCPMon tool to correctly |
| capture MTOM and SWA messages as an multipart mime where the binary data is |
| an attachment.</p> |
