How to log CXF webservice requests with log4j2?

Question

I'd like to log all incoming and outgoing CXF requests to a specific logfile. But all I get with the following configuration is a console output. What is wrong here?

log4j2.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="CONSOLE" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <ThresholdFilter level="INFO" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
        </Console>

        <RollingFile name="CXF" fileName="cxf.log">
            <ThresholdFilter level="INFO" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <logger name="org.apache.cxf" additivity="false" level="info">
                <AppenderRef ref="CXF"/>
        </logger>
        <logger name="org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor" additivity="false" level="info">
            <AppenderRef ref="CXF" />
        </logger>
        <logger name="org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor" additivity="false" level="info">
            <AppenderRef ref="CXF" />
        </logger>

        <Root level="all">
            <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

src/main/resources/META-INF/cxf/org.apache.cxf.Logger:

org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger

Answer 1

As a workaround, I'm now using org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Slf4jLogger and the bridge dependency.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
        <version>2.0</version>
    </dependency>

Here is the working example.
