How to log Axis messages

If you use webservice calls in your system, the axis has very common 3rd party libraries to send and receive the messages: SOAP, XML, JSON whatever.

Sometimes desirable to see in the logs what kind of messages travel in your system.

Just create the following XML file, named: client-config.wsdd
Put the file to any resource folder. After a new deployment you will see the messages on the console.

I tried to log the messages to a log file, it was not working for me. But i did not want to spend more time with this analysis.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployment name="defaultClientConfig" xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">

   <handler name="log" type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.LogHandler">
<parameter name="LogHandler.writeToConsole" value="true" />
   </handler>

   <globalConfiguration>
