How can I configure logging to log CXF inbound and outbound restful messages?

I have created Restful Web Service in that creating log file using log4j Instead of java.util.logging. but it didn't write for inbound and outbound messages to log file.

below to message logging configuration.

I created to META-INF/cxf/org.apache.cxf.Logger file. then i put below configuration line.

org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger

Then I created WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties configuration file. below to log4j configuration

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout


# Direct log messages to a log file

    log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
    log4j.appender.file.File=D:\\wslog\\log.txt
    log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1MB
    log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1
    log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

below configuration for Enable to message logging in cxf.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
    xmlns:cxf="http://cxf.apache.org/core" 
    xmlns:jaxrs="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
    <jaxrs:server id="base" address="/rest">
             <jaxrs:features>
               <cxf:logging/>
           </jaxrs:features>
           <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
                <ref bean="MultiArgs" />
           </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
           </jaxrs:server>
             <bean id="MultiArgs" class="com.multiArgs.MultiArgsImpl" />
    </beans>

I got logging messages for 

18:48:55,168  INFO ContextLoader:194 - Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started
18:48:55,200  INFO XmlWebApplicationContext:456 - Refreshing Root WebApplicationContext: startup date [Tue Nov 17 18:48:55 IST 2015]; root of context hierarchy

The logging feature that you've enabled will make use of the class: org.apache.cxf.feature.LoggingFeature

To enable the printing of the payloads, as part of inbound/outbound , enable the prettyLogging attribute to true

Here's the code configuration: 

<bean id="loggingFeature" class="org.apache.cxf.feature.LoggingFeature">
    <property name="prettyLogging" value="true" />
</bean>

Then refer the bean: 

 <jaxrs:features>
     <ref bean="loggingFeature"/>
</jaxrs:features>

This should log all the RESTFul requests/responses

You need to change cxf.xml file as below. 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
        xmlns:cxf="http://cxf.apache.org/core" 
        xmlns:jaxrs="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs" 
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
        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.xsd
        http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs 
        http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxrs.xsd">
        <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
        <cxf:bus>
         <cxf:features>
            <cxf:logging/>
         </cxf:features>
        </cxf:bus>

        <jaxrs:server id="base" address="/rest">

               <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
                    <ref bean="MultiArgs" />
               </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
         </jaxrs:server>
           <bean id="MultiArgs" class="com.multiArgs.MultiArgsImpl" />
        </beans>
