Question

We need to dump the raw XML for troubleshooting data dependant issues on a Grails 1.2 app. In the UrlMappings we have “parseRequest:true”. The following does not get me what I’m looking for, any other options? Note that we need this on a production machine, so fiddler or similar proxy based solutions suitable for development are not an option

def beforeInterceptor = {
    println "#"*99
    println "Executing action $actionName with params=$params"
    println request.inputStream.dump()
    //println request.inputStream.text // java.io.IOException: Stream closed
    println request.XML
}

Answer 1

If I remember correctly, when you do request.XML you should receive an XmlSlurper object. So this should get what you want.

def beforeInterceptor = {
   def xml = request.XML
   def xmlString = new XmlNodePrinter(new PrintWriter(new StringWriter())).print(xml)
}
