Question

I am using hibernate as ORM tool. It’s working properly, but the problem is that, I am getting the hibernate logs on the console instead I want then in a log file. I tried with the following code.

LogManager.resetConfiguration();
PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch("D:\\Workspace\\Project\\log4j.properties");

and the property file looks like :

log4j.rootLogger=FATAL, HIBERNATEFILE

log4j.appender.HIBERNATEFILE=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.HIBERNATEFILE.file=H:/Project/Hibernate.log
log4j.appender.HIBERNATEFILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.HIBERNATEFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss} %c | %m%n

log4j.category.org.hibernate=DEBUG, HIBERNATEFILE
log4j.additivity.org.hibernate=false

The Java code, I have written before I call hibernate to create configuration. I get all the statements, which I have logged in my project properly, but the hibernate logs, I need on a log file.

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Take a look here or at the documentation, you need to tell log4j what package/category to look at.

example…

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=HIBERNATEFILE
log4j.additivity.org.hibernate.SQL=false
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=TRACE,HIBERNATEFILE
