Well, it's working again! I don't think it has a direct relation, but what I did was to truncate the MySQL table it was using to write the log to. After that, the logger began to write to the database as before. May be the table was corrupted? Because it's not a question of disk space, the database server has plenty of free space on it. Anyway, it's working again and I hope the problem will not return.
Finally, I want just to thank the apache log4j team for a great work and to thank you for your valuable help.
