How to get XML file from Java Request object before sending. Web services SOAP

I am building Java application for Online Web Services and let's call it application A . I got the WSDL file form the second party so I can communicate with their application and let's call it application B.

From the WSDL file I generate the Java classes needed which are Requests and Responses classes. Application A will send some request object after setting the needed parameters and excepting response object from application B.

The connection is established and both applications A and B are communicating with each other.

Question:

From application A how can I get the xml data(file or text) for the request object before sending it to application B?

As described the connection is done by passing Java object as request and I know that in some point this request will be converted to xml file. How to get it?

--- EDIT ----

Important Information is missing that may cause confusion.

I am generated the Java Classed have been generated using Axis framework

The problem is solved by adding the following statements in the bindingStub class that has been auto generated from the WSDL file for the web-services you are trying to access.

String request = _call.getMessageContext().getRequestMessage().getSOAPPartAsString();
String response = _call.getMessageContext().getResponseMessage().getSOAPPartAsString();

These statements should be placed after the following method call _call.invoke otherwise you will get NullPointerException .

_call is a variable of type org.apache.axis.client.Cal and it is auto generated by Axis

I don't have much reputation to post a comment, so here is my answer: If you aren't yet using some framework use Apache CXF, If you want to capture the request before sending it application , you can either use cxf interceptors there are some inbuilt interceptors which can do this or you can create a custom interceptor with correct phase ( e.g. post marshal)
