Please, Help i'm not able to configure hibernate logging at all
I tried to put log4j.properties in the same path of hibernate.cfg.xml but it didn't work.

Is there any parameter must be set in code to force hibernate to use the provided logging file.

Here is log4j.properties content
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=E:/WorkSpaces/EclipseHelios/ws/HibernateTest/abc.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n


log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, file, stdout

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=ERROR

log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=ERROR

Maybe Hibernate just doesn't log anything at ERROR level? )

What log libraries have you in classpath?

Thanks astafev for your reply.

It works fine with me after using "jboss-logging 3.2.0.Final" instead of using the default hibernate one "jboss-logging-3.1.3.GA.jar"

"jboss-logging 3.2.0.Final" works fine with Log4j2.
