I’m using Hibernate for a personal project.
In my project, I have these directory:

+ conf
log4j.properties
+ bin
my classes

Using Windows console, I go to project directory (the parent of bin and conf) and I start the application with a command like this:

java -cp conf;lib/lib1.jar;lib/lib2.jar;[etc] com.moc.Main

My log4j.properties file is this (taken from an hibernate example):

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 - %m%n

log4j.rootLogger=info, stdout

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=error
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl=error
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql.ast.QueryTranslatorImpl=error
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlSqlWalker=error
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator=error
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql.ast.AST=error

On application start, this is the output:

2010-11-06 19:00:56,376 - Logger.getRootLogger().info() statement
12 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Environment - Hibernate 3.5.3-Final
13 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Environment - hibernate.properties not found
16 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Environment - Bytecode provider name : javassist
20 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Environment - using JDK 1.4 java.sql.Timestamp handling
108 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration - configuring from resource: com/moc/hibernate.cfg.xml
108 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration - Configuration resource: com/moc/hibernate.cfg.xml
124 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration - Reading mappings from file: conf\hiber\Customer.hbm.xml
.
.
.
and so on
.
.
.
795 [main] INFO org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl - closing
795 [main] INFO org.hibernate.connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider - cleaning up connection pool: jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb

The color of Hibernate log lines is red, my log lines are black.

Why I still see INFO output from Hibernate? What am I doing wrong?

    A good way of checking your log4j configuration and the events occuring at runtime is adding
    -Dlog4j.debug option to the java command line. In your case it will become:

    java  -Dlog4j.debug -cp conf;lib/lib1.jar;lib/lib2.jar;[etc] com.moc.Main

    This will throw information on console of the sequence of loading of log4j configuration. You can then determine if your log4j.properties is getting loaded correctly or not.
