我们都知道log4j是一个优秀的开源日志记录项目，我们不仅可以对输出的日志的格式自定义，还可以自己定义日志输出的目的地，比如：屏幕，文本文件，数据库，甚至能通过socket输出。
        现在让我们对日志输出到数据库来进行配置
         配置如下：
#---JDBC ---输出到数据库
# JDBCAppender log4j.properties file
#log4j.rootCategory=WARN,JDBC
# APPENDER JDBC
log4j.appender.JDBC=org.apache.log4j.jdbc.JDBCAppender
log4j.appender.JDBC.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
log4j.appender.JDBC.URL=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
log4j.appender.JDBC.user=use
log4j.appender.JDBC.password=password
log4j.appender.JDBC.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.JDBC.sql=INSERT INTO LOGGING (log_date, log_level, location, message) VALUES ('%d{ISO8601}', '%-5p', '%C,%L', '%m')

表结构如下：
log_date   varchar2(50)
log_level  varchar2(5)
location   varchar2(100)  
message    varchar2(1000)
笔者照做，但没有运行成功，而且此种方法是利用传统的数据库连接方法，对于数据库的管理和效率严重不足，在现在这个连接池横行的时代,为什么我们不能给给Log4j配上连接池，让Log4j利用数据连接池的连接和数据库进行通讯。现查看Log4j的Api,发现JDBCAppender这个类有以下几段话：WARNING: This version of JDBCAppender is very likely to be completely replaced in the future. Moreoever, it does not log exceptions. The JDBCAppender provides for sending log events to a database.

For use as a base class:

• Override getConnection() to pass any connection you want. Typically this is used to enable application wide connection pooling.
• Override closeConnection(Connection con) -- if you override getConnection make sure to implementcloseConnection to handle the connection you generated. Typically this would return the connection to the pool it came from.
• Override getLogStatement(LoggingEvent event) to produce specialized or dynamic statements. The default uses the sql option value.

原来log4j建议我们把其提供的JDBCAppender作为基类来使用，然后Override三个父类的方法：getConnection(),closeConnection(Connection con)和getLogStatement(LoggingEvent event)。
原来如此，那就写一个子类JDBCPoolAppender来替代这个JDBCAppender
JDBCPoolAppender代码和其相关代码如下：

Log4j数据库连接池的配置如下：
log4j.appender.JDBC=common.log.JDBCPoolAppender 
log4j.appender.JDBC.sqlname=log
log4j.appender.JDBC.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.JDBC.sql=INSERT INTO LOGGING (log_date, log_level, location, message) VALUES ('%d{ISO8601}', '%-5p', '%C,%L', '%m')


poolman.xml配置如下：

〈?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
〈poolman>
  〈management-mode>local〈/management-mode>
  〈datasource>
    〈dbname>log〈/dbname>
    〈jndiName>log〈/jndiName>
    〈driver>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver〈/driver>
    〈url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test〈/url>
    〈username>use〈/username>
    〈password>password〈/password>
    〈minimumSize>0〈/minimumSize>
    〈maximumSize>10〈/maximumSize>
    〈logFile>logs/mysql.log〈/logFile>
  〈/datasource>

〈/poolman>
    

运行成功！对于JDBCPoolAppender的属性（比如sqlname属性）我们可以利用Log4j的反射机制随便添加，只要在配置文件给其附上值即可应用，而原来的父类里面的一些属性（username什么的)和其get,set方法由于在连接池中不需要，所以删除。而在JDBCPoolAppender类中，我也只是将getConnection 方法Override ，在这个方法中我们可以根据需要生成我们的Connection对象，另外两个方法大家可以根据需求来决定怎样Override。：）
