GlassFishV2: How to see WSS SOAP messages

In GlassFish v2/ Sun Java System Application Server 9.1, one can see the SOAP messages dump in the client console by doing the following 2 simple steps:
1) Edit client container configuration file, sun-acc.xml   to have the log level above WARNING (default) level. Say set at INFO level log.

        <log-service file="" level="INFO"/>

2)  Edit application client configuration file, sun-acc.xml  to update the wss debug property from 'false' to 'true'. See the following highlighted.
Example. <glassfish-install>/domains/domain1/config/sun-acc.xml
      <property name="debug" value="true"/>

Now you can re-run the webservice client again and see that SOAP messages are dumped on to the client console with new security elements (<wsse:>)

Example [ sample client side snapshot]:
