How To Trace SOAP Message In Eclipse IDE

In SOAP web service, each HTTP request or response encapsulates a SOAP envelope, these messages are easy to trace by using Eclipse IDE, build-in “TCP/IP monitor” tool. The idea is host another server in between the client and server to perform port forward function to intercept the HTTP traffic.

1. Normal SOAP envelope flows

In normal SOAP service, client send a HTTP request to server, and server send back a HTTP response to client directly.
1. Client ----> SOAP envelope ----> Server:9999
 
2. Server:9999 ----> SOAP envelope ---> Client
2. Intercepted SOAP envelope flows
To intercept SOAP envelope, you can host another server (“TcpMonitorServer”) in between client and server, see new flows :
1. Client ----> SOAP envelope ----> TcpMonitorServer:8888
 
2. TcpMonitorServer:8888 --> SOAP envelope ---> Server:9999
 
3. Server:9999 ----> SOAP envelope ---> TcpMonitorServer:8888
 
4. TcpMonitorServer:8888 ----> SOAP envelope ---> Client
Note
This method required port changed in your web service client.

Eclipse IDE + TCP/IP Monitor

Eclipse IDE comes with a very easy to use traffic interceptor tool, known as “TCP/IP Monitor“. In this tutorial, we show you how to enable this “TCP/IP Monitor” in Eclipse IDE, and also intercept the SOAP messages generated by web service.
Here’s the steps to enable “TCP/IP Monitor” in Eclispe IDE.
1. In IDE, access Windows –> Preferences –> Run/Debug –> TCP/IP Monitor
eclipse-trace-soap-example1
2. Fill in server information, and choose type = “TCP/IP
eclipse-trace-soap-example2
3. Click on the “start” button to start tracing the web service traffic.
eclipse-trace-soap-example3
4. Show the traced messaged in the “TCP/IP Monitor” view if any.

    1. Eclipse offers a built-in tool called the TCP/IP Monitor to intercept and inspect network traffic, including SOAP messages. This is a convenient way to analyze SOAP requests and responses.

      Steps to Trace SOAP Messages
      Enable TCP/IP Monitor:

      In Eclipse, go to Windows -> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> TCP/IP Monitor.
      Click the Add button to create a new monitor.
      Specify the Host name (usually localhost), Port (where the SOAP service is listening), and Type as TCP/IP.
      Click Start to activate the monitor.
      Send SOAP Request:

      Make a SOAP request using your Eclipse-based client or any other SOAP client.
      The request and response will be captured by the TCP/IP Monitor.
      Analyze SOAP Messages:

      The captured messages are displayed in the TCP/IP Monitor view.
      You can inspect the request and response headers, as well as the SOAP envelope and body.
