Is it possible to set the logging level at runtime?

Hibernate uses jakarta-commons for it's logging, so the logging implemenation for Hibernate is pluggable.
So it depends on which logging implementation you're running with.
If you are using Log4j, then it is definitely possible.
See the log4j doco for instructions on how to do it.

You can. Try passing something like:

Code:

-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog=trace 

This tells Hibernate to use the SimpleLog implementation for logging and to set the logging level to trace. Supported levels include trace, debug, info, error, fatal, etc. You can find out more here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/api/org/apache/commons/logging/impl/SimpleLog.html

For sure, you can even do hot reloading of config
