Question

I get this error when configurating my hibernate

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.Version).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

here is the line of code

Configuration config = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure("HibernatePositionServer.cfg.xml");

and here is my cfg file

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

First ask Google, this is one of the most common Log4J error messages. Simply put: Log4J (logging and monitoring framework) received a logging message from Hibernate and does not know what to do with it (print on console, put in file, ignore…?)

Put file named log4j.xml in your CLASSPATH root directory (src/main/resource when using maven) with the following contents:

<?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 ="debug" /> 
    <appender-ref ref="console" /> 
  </root>

</log4j:configuration>
