Turn off Hibernate Logging

How do you turn off logging in Hibernate 3?

My log4j.properties file reads:
log4j.rootLogger=OFF

That will turn off ALL logging.

To turn just hibernate's logging off

add the following line

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=OFF

I've tried to both, neither worked. I still see all the Hibernate logging.

Maybe it's that java.util.logging is being used instead of log4j? How can I determine this?

What application server are you using?

No application server. Just a simple POJO application.

Hibernate uses commons-logging to do it's logging. Make sure there's no oddball commons-logging.properties (or other commons-logging configuration parameters, e.g. JRE system properties) around.

You can try modifying .level in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/logging.properties. This is the default config file used by java.util.logging.

See if that changes anything.

Turns out that the log4j.jar file was not in my classpath. I feel like such a noob.

Note to self:
Ask yourself: Is it plugged in? Is the power light on?
