I've read the documentation on the CXF web site, and I've also done some searches and read a bunch of posts and I still cannot get this working or figure out what I am doing wrong. I have :
1. created the file WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/cxf/org.apache.cxf.logger and inside of it placed the content: org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger 2. I configured log4j to write the data to a file appender for all services using this logger definition: log4j.logger.org.apache.cxf.services=INFO, file1 where file1 is a file appender. For whatever reason, it seems to refuse to use log4j. It DOES produce logging however it goes into the main catalina.out log of tomcat and the file is empty. It appears that its still using standard java logging still. Any suggestions as to how I can can track down what is happening? For reference this is Apache Tomcat 7.0.42 and CXF 2.7.6, using a java 7 jdk.
