Error description
When the server configuration is modified to disable tracing on live server, SOAP messages are still being displayed.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of * * JAX-WS(Java API for XML Web Services) * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SOAP messages continue appearing in * * logs despite trace being disabled on * * a live server. * **************************************************************** The Slf4jEventSender class hardcoded its logging level to INFO, causing SOAP messages to print regardless of the configured trace level. Disabling trace only changed the application's logging level to INFO, but since Slf4jEventSender was already locked at INFO, SOAP messages continued to appear.
Problem conclusion
SOAP message logging is now dynamically controlled through a disableLogging field that modifies the behavior of CXF's AbstractLoggingInterceptor.isLoggingDisabledNow() method. LibertyServiceImpl and LibertyApplicationBusFactory set this field based on trace enablement status. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack WebSphere Liberty 26.0.0.4.
