How to log httpclient using log4j and Java Util logging

there are times when httpclient's trace needs to be logged

we can use a log4j file like this

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%c] %m%n

log4j.logger.org.apache.http=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.apache.http.wire=ERROR


You can pass the path of this config file at command line like this
-Dlog4j.configuration=C:\myworkspaces\Client\src\log4j.properties

if you are using Java util logging then you can use this
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\myworkspaces\Client\src\logging.properties

java util log file needs to be like this

.level = FINEST

handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = ALL

org.apache.http.level = FINEST
org.apache.http.wire.level = SEVERE
