insert log4j.properties at your project , such as the src/main/resource with :
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{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n log4j.rootLogger=info, stdout log4j.logger.org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl=trace log4j.logger.org.hibernate.testing.cache=debug # SQL Logging - HHH-6833 log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=debug log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast=debug log4j.logger.org.hibernate.sql.ordering.antlr=debug
then: restart your sever ,you will see the better debug information
it's very useful when you meet some problems when there's no detailed information offered by
your sever
of course , you can define your debug level by redefining this file with the help of source code
