Apache Log4j provides the interface that applications should code to and provides the adapter components required for implementers to create a logging implementation.

Bytecode (Java 1.4) for Apache Log4j is provided in a JAR file like log4j-1.2.17.jar.

Source Code files for Apache Log4j are provided in both binary packge like log4j-1.2.17.zip and source package like log4j-1.2.17-sources.zip. You can download them at Apache Log4j Website.

You can also browse Source Code files for Apache Log4j 1.2.17 below.

/**
  The JDBCAppender provides for sending log events to a database.
  
 <p><b><font color="#FF2222">WARNING: This version of JDBCAppender
 is very likely to be completely replaced in the future. Moreoever,
 it does not log exceptions</font></b>.

  <p>Each append call adds to an <code>ArrayList</code> buffer.  When
  the buffer is filled each log event is placed in a sql statement
  (configurable) and executed.

  <b>BufferSize</b>, <b>db URL</b>, <b>User</b>, & <b>Password</b> are
  configurable options in the standard log4j ways.

  <p>The <code>setSql(String sql)</code> sets the SQL statement to be
  used for logging -- this statement is sent to a
  <code>PatternLayout</code> (either created automaticly by the
  appender or added by the user).  Therefore by default all the
  conversion patterns in <code>PatternLayout</code> can be used
  inside of the statement.  (see the test cases for examples)

  <p>Overriding the {@link #getLogStatement} method allows more
  explicit control of the statement used for logging.

  <p>For use as a base class:

    <ul>

    <li>Override <code>getConnection()</code> to pass any connection
    you want.  Typically this is used to enable application wide
    connection pooling.

     <li>Override <code>closeConnection(Connection con)</code> -- if
     you override getConnection make sure to implement
     <code>closeConnection</code> to handle the connection you
     generated.  Typically this would return the connection to the
     pool it came from.

     <li>Override <code>getLogStatement(LoggingEvent event)</code> to
     produce specialized or dynamic statements. The default uses the
     sql option value.

    </ul>
