I added a new feature in WS to log requests and responses

 

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-781

 

Logging requests and responses

You can do this via the client or a proxy.  If you must do this via the server, there is an experimental way to do this in v2.1.1+.  You should not do this in prod, only in a testing environment.

Add a new servlet filter mapping in the web.xml

<filter-mapping>

    <filter-name>Grouper logging filter</filter-name>

    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

</filter-mapping>

Set the filter logger to log at debug level

log4j.logger.edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.ws.j2ee.ServletFilterLogger = DEBUG

You will see log entries like this

2012-05-03 09:13:18,575: [http-8088-1] DEBUG ServletFilterLogger.logStuff(98) -  - IP: 127.0.0.1, url: /grouperWs/servicesRest/v2_1_001/groups/aStem%3AaGroup/members, queryString: null, method: PUT, content-type: text/x-json; charset=UTF-8

request params:

request body: {"WsRestAddMemberRequest":{"actAsSubjectLookup":{"subjectId":"GrouperSystem"},"replaceAllExisting":"F","subjectLookups":[{"subjectId":"10021368"},{"subjectId":"10039438"}]}}

respone headers: (note, not all headers captured, and not in this order)

X-Grouper-resultCode: SUCCESS

X-Grouper-success: T

X-Grouper-resultCode2: NONE

HTTP/1.1 201

Content-Type: text/x-json; charset=UTF-8

response: {"WsAddMemberResults":{"responseMetadata":{"millis":"237","serverVersion":"2.1.1"},"resultMetadata":{"resultCode":"SUCCESS","resultMessage":"Success for: clientVersion: 2.1.1, wsGroupLookup: WsGroupLookup[pitGroups=[],groupName=aStem:aGroup], subjectLookups: Array size: 2: [0]: WsSubjectLookup[subjectId=10021368]\n[1]: WsSubjectLookup[subjectId=10039438]\n\n, replaceAllExisting: false, actAsSubject: WsSubjectLookup[subjectId=GrouperSystem], fieldName: null, txType: NONE, includeGroupDetail: false, includeSubjectDetail: false, subjectAttributeNames: null\n, params: null\n, disabledDate: null, enabledDate: null","success":"T"},"results":[{"resultMetadata":{"resultCode":"SUCCESS_ALREADY_EXISTED","success":"T"},"wsSubject":{"id":"10021368","name":"10021368","resultCode":"SUCCESS","sourceId":"jdbc","success":"T"}},{"resultMetadata":{"resultCode":"SUCCESS_ALREADY_EXISTED","success":"T"},"wsSubject":{"id":"10039438","name":"10039438","resultCode":"SUCCESS","sourceId":"jdbc","success":"T"}}],"wsGroupAssigned":{"description":"a group description","displayExtension":"a group","displayName":"a stem:a group","extension":"aGroup","name":"aStem:aGroup","typeOfGroup":"group","uuid":"d9094e4a7c6e4f399d7e1489c875b9f0"}}}

At some point we can make it more granular which requests get logged and give an option to format the request/response (indent, etc)
