How to enable Hibernate debug logging using JBoss log4j.xml

I am using JBoss 4.0.1 and Hibernate 2.1.6.

I would like to enable Hibernate debug logging so I edited the log4j.xml file in the JBoss default/conf directory from the default ...

Code:

   <category name="net.sf.hibernate">
     <priority value="INFO" />
   </category>

to ...

Code:

   <category name="net.sf.hibernate">
     <priority value="DEBUG" />
   </category>

If I then stop and start JBoss and run my tests, I see no Hibernate debug messages only INFOs. This does not seem to do anything.

I looked at the Hibernate FAQ and I don't see the answer to this question in there. Could someone please add it.

Thanks.
Joe

Hibernate uses commons logging so it may well be that something up the stack has grabbed the logger in preference to log4j, which is why your log4j.xml cahnges are having no effect.

Look up the documentation on commons logging (jakarta commons).
