java - Jersey: Print the actual request

Question

How can I view the actual request that Jersey generates and sends to the server? I am having issues with a particular request and the fellow running the webserver asked to see the full request (with headers and the such).

If you're just using Jersey Client API, LoggingFilter (client filter) should help you:

Client client = Client.create();
client.addFilter(new LoggingFilter(System.out));
WebResource webResource = client.resource("http://localhost:9998/");
ClientResponse response = webResource.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                                         .get(ClientResponse.class);

Otherwise, you can again log both request and response on server using other LoggingFilter (container filter).
