Using SLF4J with Spring 3.0.5, Hibernate 3.5.1-Final

[ypfamily]

Hi,

I have a maven-based project which uses Hibernate with Spring (versions in the title). I used to use Log4j, but since we switch to Hibernate, the logging is outputting all kinds of stuff we don't want...

The SLF4J site instructed to replace log4j jar with the log4j-over-slf4j jar, which I did.

Now, when I run my tests, I get the following exception. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Never mind... I had to include jcl-over-slf4j jar as well as it seems Spring uses java commons logging.

Here is the maven dependency configuration snippet in case it's helpful for someone else:

<dependency>
			<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
			<artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
			<version>1.5.8</version>
		</dependency>

			<artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId>
