Yes it is possible. How do you think a file based JDBC database like
cloudscape
accesses its data when accessed by an EJB? Its ok because it is providing
a transacted interface to the data via JDBC. If you don't need your logging
to
be part of the bean transaction then log to a file using log4j. If you do,
then
you would have to configure the log4j appenders to use JDBC or JMS and
through app server resource managers.
