Hibernate only uses info level on logger message to disencourage Hibernate Pool Manager. This should be a warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-2298 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2298 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement Components: core Environment: Hibernate 3.2.0, PostgreSQL 8.1.3, Windows. Reporter: Federico Chiesa Priority: Minor I usually work with Log4J set to WARN for Hibernate, and debug for my applications' log messages. I was testing some hibernate connection problems, and I enabled the INFO level for org.hibernate package. On a project I am testing, I got this message: INFO org.hibernate.connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider - Using Hibernate built-in connection pool (not for production use!) Despite I knew that the connection pool of Hibernate is not for production use (because I read the documentation quite throughly), I believe that this should be a WARN level log message. This will help all novice users be warned by Hibernate itself about dangerous usage of the connection pool that might be overlooked when reading the documentation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
