Using Hibernate 3.0 RC1 and JDK 1.5, I'm trying to use Java logging so
I don't have log4j in my classpath. This worked find in Hibernate 2.0.
Now I'm getting the error below. Is there something special I must
do to tell Hibernate 3.0 to use Java logging? Thanks.

Hibernate ships with the source, so you could answer this yourself. I looked at the PojoTuplizer source and it uses log4j. I personally have no problem with this, but others may.
The easy solution is to put log4j in your classpath.
The hard one is to get Hibernate to change their code to remove all log4j references.

But this is not backwards compatible. I was able to use the Java
logging with Hibernate 2.0. Do you think they intentionally removed
that capability in 3.0? I sure hope not. Can any hibernate developer
comment? Thanks.

This has been fixed in CVS yesterday

Great - thanks. I guess I'll just wait for the next release candidate.
Good to know that its fix. Thanks much.
