I see that there are instructions on enabling verbose logging for wiremock when running it in standalone fashion at http://wiremock.org/running-standalone.html (see --verbose).
How do I enable the same when starting it from a java code?
If you're using a JUnit Rule, you can set the notifier to verbose mode like this:
@Rule
public WireMockRule serviceMock = new WireMockRule(new WireMockConfiguration().notifier(new Slf4jNotifier(true)));
