How can I log with Log4J SOAP request and response in AXIS 1.x?

So after hours or Googling out there in the web, I decided to get adventurous and program my own handler. Is much easier than expected.

I made a class that extends the abstract class BasicHandler (org.apache.axis.handlers.BasicHandler), and implements the invoke method loging the request or the response. Here is my class, which I have baptized as SOAPLogHandler :

package com.mypackage.axishandlers;

import org.apache.axis.AxisFault;
import org.apache.axis.MessageContext;
import org.apache.axis.handlers.BasicHandler;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class SOAPLogHandler extends BasicHandler {

private static Logger LOG= Logger.getLogger(SOAPLogHandler.class);
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Override
public void invoke(MessageContext msgContext) throws AxisFault {
    if(msgContext.getResponseMessage() != null && msgContext.getResponseMessage().getSOAPPart() != null) {
        LOG.info(" Response = " + msgContext.getResponseMessage().getSOAPPartAsString());
    } else {
        if(msgContext.getRequestMessage() != null && msgContext.getRequestMessage().getSOAPPartAsString() != null) {
            LOG.info(" Request = " + msgContext.getRequestMessage().getSOAPPartAsString());
        }    
    }
}  }

The idea is, to log first the request, and when processed, log the response. So, in the server-config.wsdd (or the wsdd file from your client if you are in the client side), we have to add a handler pointing to that class, and configure it to uses in the request/response chain:

1st add the handler

 <handler name="log" type="java:com.mypackage.axishandlers.SOAPLogHandler"/>

2nd add the use of that handler to the request/response from the http transport (focus on the log handler)

 <transport name="http">
  <requestFlow>
   <handler type="log"/>
   <handler type="URLMapper"/>
   <hand
