Hibernate version: 3.2.5ga

Hello, I need to get rid of al INFO messages whenever I run my apps.
Is there anyway, thru the hibernate.cfg.xml, to set the Log LEVEL so
that only ERROR messages arises ?

Tnx in advance.

There are many ways... you might refer to the log4j manual for this...

One way is explicit:



Or, you can do what I do and have the root set to Error and turn on debug only where you need it..

sounded quite good but it does not work.
Into the body <session-factory> <session-factory/> I have only nodes <property> and
<mapping>. And if a I add the node you suggested me:

<logger name="logger" additivity="false">
<level value="error" />
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</logger>


i get the error

Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: invalid configuration
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:1369)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1310)

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "logger" must be declared.
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:236).


Then I tried several combinations, like write the node as a property instead of logger, put
it outside the <session-factory> node and none worked.

please help.

that configuration is for your log4j.xml file and has nothing to do with hibernate.

Somewhere in your classpath, you need to include the log4j.xml file (with its dtd) and setup the configuration i showed you.

I strongly suggest you visit http://logging.apache.org/ and learn about log4j.

I mean, all i have is an hibernate3.jar in my classpath and some others like commons-login.jar and so; but no log4j.jar at all (may be implicit). All I got
is an hibernate.cfg.xml in my cp ant then i launch my app
with this :

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Dhibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer=false
-Xmx512M -cp $BASEDIR/conf/:$CLASSPATH \
-Djava.security.policy=${BASEDIR}/con/security.policy\
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true\
-Dlog4j.logger.org.hibernate=ERROR\


In the conf directory where I have my hibernate.cfg.xml, I also added
the log4j.xml which follows :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>

<root>
<priority value ="error" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
</root>

</log4j:configuration>


After all, I still get those annoying messages INFO : whatever ........

do not know what else to try.
