Hello guys,

I'd like to improve Hibernate by switching the 'System.out.println' method called when printing the SQL requests (parameter showSQL set to true).

Would it be feasible to use the commons-logging API instead of writing directly to the standard output ?

Thanks !
Yann

did you try checking log4j properties and enabling it ?

Yes of course.
I've visited the source code of Hibernate 2.0.3 and have found this:

if (showSql) System.out.println("Hibernate: " + sql);

That would be very cool to change this to:

if (showSql) LogFactory.get("net.sf.hibernate.showSQL").info("Hibernate: " + sql);

Any follow-up to this so great idea ?

This was changed in Hibernate 2.1, all SQL is now logged to a special Logger
