how to disable tomcat 7 console debug information

Question

Actually, I have had this question for a quite long time already, I'm using SpringMVC + Hibernate3 + Spring Security as the framework, tomcat 7 as the container, however after add the filter and interceptor in the web.xml, there are sooooo many debug informations print into the console, no matter how I change the configuration files, those debug informations always staying there, please help.

Actually the answer is here https://stackoverflow.com/a/23254829/1000011

Create a logback.xml file in your resources directory containing:

<configuration>

    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>web - %date [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %message%n
            </pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <logger name="org.springframework" level="WARN" />

    <root level="INFO">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
    </root>

</configuration>

Answer 2

(Question answered in the comments and question edits by the OP. See Question with no answers, but issue solved in the comments (or extended in chat) )

The OP wrote:

To disable the console debug information, you need add the log4j configuration file then modify the log level to above DEBUG, in this case, my log4j doesn't work properly 'Coz I put another log library into the project, as @M.Deinum mentioned, 'make sure you don't have a log4j or other log libs around somewhere else'.

In web.xml is flawed (basically duplicating the beans), because I put dispatcher-servlet.xml into context loader configuration scope, after that the dispatcher servlet loaded it again, sometime we need initial some beans first before some others like datasource bean, in my case, spring security needs a datasource to read the authority before the request goes into dispatcher, so that I have to initial datasource at the first place, also as @M.Deinum mentioned, "In general your ContextLoaderListener should load all generic stuff (datasources, services, repositories etc.) and your DispatcherServlet only the web related resources (controllers, view resolvers, views etc.)." solved this issue.
