This type of setting in your log4j file will provide very verbose logging:
Code:
### direct log messages to stdout ###
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
### direct messages to file hibernate.log ###
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=hibernate.log
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
### set log levels - for more verbose logging change 'info' to 'debug' ##
log4j.rootLogger=warn, file
log4j.logger.net.sf.hibernate=debug
### enable the following line if you want to track down connection ###
### leakages when using DriverManagerConnectionProvider ###
#log4j.logger.net.sf.hibernate.connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider=trace
### log JDBC bind parameters ###
log4j.logger.net.sf.hibernate.type=debug
### log prepared statement cache activity ###
log4j.logger.net.sf.hibernate.ps.PreparedStatementCache=debug
