Hi Everybody,
I am working on struts and hibernate project. I am using commons logging for struts which is working fine.
I am trying to enable logging for hibernate but my attempts have given any fruit. I heard that commons logging can wrap log4j, so I was trying to enable log4j for hibernate.
Can anybody help me in doing that?
Thanks

Here's an example log4j.properties that we use. The last DEBUG setting generates quite a bit of logs.

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, logfile

log4j.appender.logfile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.logfile.File=./logs/hibernate.log
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxFileSize=100MB
# Keep three backup files.
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxBackupIndex=5
# Pattern to output: date priority [category] - message
log4j.appender.logfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p [%c] - %m%n

log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.hibernate=DEBUG

Hi mlai,
I tried doing that but it seems it doesnt even go into this properties file.
Can you tell me what all to do before this. How would the application see this properites file.
Coz right now my struts logger is working fine and its using simplelogging whereas for hibernate i need log4 logging.
Thanks

Put the log4j.properties in the application's classpath.
