Apache cxf file logging

Question

I've configured CXF and now I want to use logging and configure it from xml without extra code. For this purpose, I've added this xml configuration to my appContext:

<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
    <bean class="org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor" id="logInInterceptor" />
    <bean class="org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor" id="logOutInterceptor" />
    <cxf:bus>
        <cxf:inInterceptors>
            <ref bean="logInInterceptor" />
        </cxf:inInterceptors>
        <cxf:outInterceptors>
            <ref bean="logOutInterceptor" />
        </cxf:outInterceptors>

    </cxf:bus>

    <jaxws:endpoint id="myServiceBean" implementor="com.mysite.webservice.myWSDLBean_Client" address="/mySearch">
    </jaxws:endpoint>

but it doesn't log anything during call, though when there is server deployment, I see that logInInterceptor and logOutInterceptor are mapped. What am I doing wrong?

And is there any way to configure writing logs to an external file (not to console) ?

@Sampada I've added as it was said - new logging file with the mentioned property, then added missing spring configuration properties, but there was no miracle =( I didn't see anything even in console — J is for Java, May 30 '16 at 12:56
@Frank yes, this file is correctly in `src/main/resources` folder. BTW, you mentioned difference between configuration of 2.5 and 3.1+ versions. Can you describe them? — J is for Java, May 31 '16 at 07:31

Make the following changes and it should work for you -

Add fault interceptors to your <cxf:bus>:

<cxf:bus>
    .
    .
    .
    <cxf:outFaultInterceptors>
        <ref bean="loggingOutInterceptor"/>
    </cxf:outFaultInterceptors>
    <cxf:inFaultInterceptors>
        <ref bean="loggingInInterceptor"/>
    </cxf:inFaultInterceptors>
</cxf:bus>`

Add a file org.apache.cxf.Logger in your /META-INF/cxf with contents:
```
org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Slf4jLogger
```

In JBoss's standalone.xml, add the following property after <extensions>:

 <system-properties>
    <property name="org.apache.cxf.logging.enabled" value="true"/>
 </system-properties>`
