I’m using jruby and ActiveRecord in a Swing based application. Until  
now I used Rails 2.3.5. Today I migrated to Rails 3 which seems to  
work ok. The only problem I have is that I can no longer use the  
ActiveRecord logging. Until now I used the following code to enable  
logging:

ActiveRecord::Base.establish\_connection(conf[“mysql”])

if $global\_enable\_db\_logging  
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDERR)  
end

Any ideas how to make this work again ?
