Spring JDBC is not logging SQL with log4j

Question

I'm researching spring for a possible switch to a spring stack. One of the things that I thought was cool was the ability for spring jdbc to log all the executed sql. So I put in log4j, set up a log4j.properties file. and no sql.

here is the log4j.properties file:

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppe nder
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.Patt ernLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout
log4j.category.org.springframework.jdbc.core=DEBUG

here is the output for some really simple insert sql via spring jdbc: http://pastie.org/713189

Answer 1

Try setting these additional log4j loggers. The first will spit out the SQL that passes through spring's JdbcTemplate, the second gives you parameter values that Spring sets on prepared statements.

<logger name="org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate">
  <level value="debug" />
</logger>

<logger name="org.springframework.jdbc.core.StatementCreatorUtils">
  <level value="debug" />
</logger>

Clearly this is only going to work if you're directly or indirectly executing SQL using JdbcTemplate.
