Enable logging in Apache CXF generated client - apache

Question

I followed directions on CXF web site to enable logging of SOAP requests, but cannot see any logging going on in my logs.
I have log4j, so I added -Dorg.apache.cxf.Logger=org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger to Tomcat jvm args, then I created cxf.xml and put into classpath. I also added logger into log4j config.
Nothing gets logged.
What can be a problem?
cxf.xml:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:cxf="http://cxf.apache.org/core"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://cxf.apache.org/core http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/core.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd">
<cxf:bus>
<cxf:features>
<cxf:logging/>
</cxf:features>
</cxf:bus>
</beans>

I use the LoggingInInterceptor/LoggingOutInterceptor and am not sure about your bus configuration but you should be sure to also added a correct logger (with the correct name) to your log4j configuration.
In the Apache CXF - 2.5 Migration Guido you will find the usefull information
The Logging interceptors now log using service specific
categories/loggers instead of just
LoggingInInterceptor/LoggingOutInterceptor. The names of the logger
that is used is
org.apache.cxf.services.ServiceName.PortName.PortTypeName. This allows
the user to configure specific per service filters and formatters in
their logging configuration.
I have written a blog post about logging with Apache CXF that provides all information I needed to enable request/response logging in my application.
