title: Configuring Hibernate logging using Log4j XML config file?
body: <p>I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to configure Hibernate's logging using the XML style configuration file for Log4j.</p>
  
  <p>Is this even possible or do I have use a properties style configuration file to control Hibernate's logging?</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has any information or links to documentation it would appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong><br/>
  Just to clarify, I am looking for an example of the actual XML syntax to control Hibernate.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT2:</strong><br/>
  Here is what I have in my XML config file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
  &lt;!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"&gt;
  
  &lt;log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"&gt;
      &lt;appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"&gt;
          &lt;param name="Threshold" value="info"/&gt;
          &lt;param name="Target" value="System.out"/&gt;
          &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt;
              &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} [%t] %-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/&gt;
          &lt;/layout&gt;
      &lt;/appender&gt;
      &lt;appender name="rolling-file" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"&gt;
          &lt;param name="file" value="Program-Name.log"/&gt;
          &lt;param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB"/&gt;
      &lt;!-- Keep one backup file --&gt;
          &lt;param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="4"/&gt;
          &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt;
              &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %l - %m%n"/&gt;
          &lt;/layout&gt;
      &lt;/appender&gt;
  
      &lt;root&gt;
          &lt;priority value ="debug" /&gt;
          &lt;appender-ref ref="console" /&gt;
          &lt;appender-ref ref="rolling-file" /&gt;
      &lt;/root&gt;
  &lt;/log4j:configuration&gt;

  <p>Logging works fine but I am looking for a way to step down and control the hibernate logging in way that separate from my application level logging, as it currently is flooding my logs. I have found examples of using the preference file to do this, I was just wondering how I can do this in a XML file.</p>
