Made some changes from above referred solution , request and response will log in console and in file too if logger level is info. we can print either in console or file.

HandlerInterceptorbut that may not work well with logging the response as mentioned in the answer: concretepage.com/spring/spring-mvc/… - HandlerInterceptor has access to the method (method: "UsersController.getUser") though. That's not known in a servlet filter. – WandaLogClass{ getRequestAndSaveIt()} Gson.toJson(LogClass)as pseudocode – Limousin
