Disabling Spring log, to have readable logs

Question

How can I disable Spring logs to have log outputs that I can easily read or someone else can read. An answer to a similar question at, how to disable spring bean loading log

Answer 1

Before you do, you should have get some knowledge of :

1.How to add maven dependency 
2.Where to put log4j configuration file

OK, return to the question.The top answer is not working for spring 4.x, if you are using spring4.x try following 3 steps:

1. remove common-logging from spring-core

   
       org.springframework
       spring-core
       4.3.4.RELEASE
       
           
               commons-logging
               commons-logging
           
       
   
   

   Without this step, no matter what you put in log4j configuration file is not working, cause spring is using common-logging my boy!
   PS:Within lots of spring modules, spring-core is the the only module that explicitly depends on commons-logging.

2. Add SLF4J and log4j

   
       org.slf4j
       jcl-over-slf4j
       1.5.8
   
   
       org.slf4j
       slf4j-api
       1.5.8
   
   
       org.slf4j
       slf4j-log4j12
       1.5.8
   
   
       log4j
       log4j
       1.2.14
   
   

3. configure log4j.properties(You can also use xml file)

   log4j.rootCategory=INFO, stdout

   log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %t %c{2}:%L - %m%n

   log4j.category.org.springframework.beans.factory=INFO

Now, the annoying spring debug log is going away.Enjoy coding!
