Most of my projects are WebSphere projects. I can see iBATIS logging statements in the WebSphere logs - but WebSphere uses it's own internal logging implementation to hook into commons logging. So I wrote this FAQ about how to see logging statements in WebSphere because it's not as simple as you might hope for:
It would help us diagnose the problem if we knew more about the runtime environment.

Well, I don't know about Tarek, but I've always used commons-logging with log4j
underneath... so both are on my classpath.
I've used ibatis on several projects now, and thinking back, I don't recall ever seeing
ibatis log statements, though I always put com.ibatis and java.sql in my log properties.
Jeff, Brandon, do you see ibatis log statements in you logs? Are you using commons logging
or something else?
