Is is possible to get hold of the byte stream that hibernate writes to as log messages so that these messages can be logged using a custom logging framework? Basically we may not be using Log4J or JDK 1.4 for logging but our own logging gramework, in that case how can we get hold of the hibernate log messages and pass them to custom loggign framework.

Thanks

Use log4j and pipe the message to your own system by writing a custom Log4j appender.

or use commons-logging and make a commons-logging adapter and thus avoid the extra dependency
