Description

By default CXF uses the java.util.logging (JUL) API for logging. This results in the following output:

INFO - ComponentMBeanImpl - Starting component: servicemix-cxf-se
INFO - ComponentMBeanImpl - Initializing component: servicemix-cxf-se
Apr 17, 2008 11:43:17 AM org.apache.cxf.bus.spring.BusApplicationContext getConfigResources
INFO: No cxf.xml configuration file detected, relying on defaults.
INFO - ComponentMBeanImpl - Starting component: servicemix-cxf-bc
INFO - ComponentMBeanImpl - Initializing component: servicemix-cxf-bc
Apr 17, 2008 11:43:18 AM org.apache.cxf.bus.spring.BusApplicationContext getConfigResources
INFO: No cxf.xml configuration file detected, relying on defaults.
INFO - AutoDeploymentService - Directory: hotdeploy: Finished installation of archive: servicemix-shared-3.2.2-SNAPSHOT-installer.zip

Note that the CXF output format is different than the SMX output. This is simply due to log formatting and is easiest to remedy through the use of a system property as described in the CXF docs Using Log4j Instead of java.util.logging.
