How to enable logging for SQL statements when using JDBC

I am trying to enable logs using my JDBC program by connecting to Oracle database in eclipse IDE.

I have gone through this SO post JDBC logging to file then I have created below java program and running it from my eclipse IDE, but I was not able to see any logs generated by the JDBC driver classes.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.logging.LogManager;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class Logging {

    static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Logging.class.toString());
    static Connection con = null;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException,
            ClassNotFoundException {
        System.setProperty("oracle.jdbc.Trace", Boolean.TRUE.toString());
        System.setProperty("java.util.logging.config.file",
                "OracleLog.properties");
        log.info("Test Message");
        enableLogging(false);
        getConnection();
        closeConnection();
    }

    static private void enableLogging(boolean logDriver) {
        try {
            oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleLog.setTrace(true);

            // compute the ObjectName
            String loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
                    .toString().replaceAll("[,=:"]+", "");
            javax.management.ObjectName name = new javax.management.ObjectName(
                    "com.oracle.jdbc:type=diagnosability,name=" + loader);

            // get the MBean server
            javax.management.MBeanServer mbs = java.lang.management.ManagementFactory
                    .getPlatformMBeanServer();

            // find out if logging is enabled or not
            System.out.println("LoggingEnabled = "
                    + mbs.getAttribute(name, "LoggingEnabled"));

            // enable logging
            mbs.setAttribute(name, new javax.management.Attribute(
                    "LoggingEnabled", true));

            File propFile = new File("path/to/properties");
            LogManager logManager = LogManager.getLogManager();
            logManager.readConfiguration(new FileInputStream(propFile));

            if (logDriver) {
                DriverManager.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(System.err));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException,
            ClassNotFoundException {
        Properties connectionProps = new Properties();
        connectionProps.put("user", "test_app");
        connectionProps.put("password", "test");

        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        con = DriverManager.getConnection(
                "jdbc:oracle:thin:@"+HOST_IP+":1521:"+SID,
                connectionProps);
        System.out.println("Connected to database");
        return con;
    }

    public static void closeConnection() throws SQLException {
        if (con != null) {
            con.close();
        }
    }

}

and I have below content in my OracleLog.properties file:

.level=SEVERE
oracle.jdbc.level=INFO
oracle.jdbc.handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

But when I run my program by placing ojdbc6-11.2.0.3.jar in classpath then I am getting exception as:

INFO: Test Message
javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: com.oracle.jdbc:type=diagnosability,name=sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@73d16e93
    at com.sun.jmx.interceptor.DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.getMBean(DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.java:1095)

    at myjdbc.Logging.enableLogging(Logging.java:45)
    at myjdbc.Logging.main(Logging.java:24)
Connected to database

If I have ojdbc6_g.jar in classpath then also I am getting same exception.

Please let me know how can I enable logging for my JDBC program? basically I am expecting to see the logs generated by the internal JDBC code.

Update: Now I placed ojdbc6dms.jar file in classpath, my program is giving below exception:

Answer

If you are using Spring framework, then the datasource-proxy framework is very convenient. You can basically wrap around any DataSource and just add the logging behavior.

If you’re using Java EE, then P6spy is a good alternative:

Behind the scenes, p6spy provides the statement interceptor at the Driver level, which is much more convenient for Java EE applications because the DataSource is provided by the application server.
