java - Log axis2 client requests and responses

Question

I would like to log all requests/responses made by an axis2 client. I tried to create a file called client-config.wsdd as describer in http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=15137 but without success (I don't get a log file).

Requests are made over https and I am not sure if it matters. I tried

<transport name="http" pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender"/>

and

<transport name="https" pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender"/>

without success.

For Axis2-client side logging for SOAP messages, just use the following JVM arguments while running your standalone client or include this VM args in your Appln. Server start script,

JAVA_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime=true -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.httpclient.wire=debug -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.apache.commons.httpclient=debug

C:java %JAVA_OPTS% YourClientAppln.java
