Local fix

Problem summary

• Liberty generates numerous unnecessary traces when enabling the
  "org.apache.cxf.*=all:com.ibm.ws.jaxws.*=all" JAX-WS trace and
  sometimes the function breaks on Business Automation Workflow on
   Containers. Also, you must restart the server so that web
  service soap messages are in the trace.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available or will be available that ensures the
  "org.apache.cxf.*=all:com.ibm.ws.jaxws.*=all" JAX-WS trace
  string works as expected.
