What is the best way to do logging for REST method call?

What is the best way to do logging for REST method call?

I tryed two ways to log the information of methods like input passed to the method, output of that method, if exception thrown - what exception, which class and method and exception line are logged.

Method1 : Using finally method

Method2 : Using Spring AOP

Which is the best way to do? Is there any other way we can do logging.

finally is for exceptions. AOP looks good if you have many methods. Otherwise just add the LOG statements (in case you're using a logger framework like log4j) where you think you need them. AOP has a slight performance impact.

I am here adding a point over ACV's suggestion since what ever he has suggested are correct , 1. AOP will be loose couple that give you more flexibility in terms of optional deployment , 2.Your actual business logic and method will be remain neat & clean . no extra line would be appear there. 3.Could use your code for entire application even in other application too.
