I'm working on a simple desktop app (not webapp).
Here is my log4j.properties:
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.logger.org.springframework=ERROR,stdout
As you can see, in order to eliminate Spring logging messages from the console, I tried this solution:
Disabling Spring log, to have readable logs
When I call log4j logger from my code, the logging messages are according to the pattern specified above (which is good).
However, the bad part is - I still get to the console DEBUG level messages from spring... they look like here: Unable to disable logging messages
And they have a different pattern. As if they ignore my settings.
I also tried to apply the suggestions I've found here:
https://spring.io/blog/2009/12/04/logging-dependencies-in-spring
In my pom file:
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.17</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
And no SLF4J. This option was mentioned in the above link as a valid option, if I am not wrong.
What might I be missing here?

Spring uses commons-logging which auto-detects the logging framework to use. There are various ways to tune which logging framework will be chosen so the first thing to do is to make sure commons-logging binds to log4j.
To do that, start your application with an additional flag -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.diagnostics.dest=STDOUT that will output the result of the discovery process.
commons-logging delegate to log4j
You now need to make sure that log4j is initialise with the expected configuration. By default, log4j searches for a log4j.xml file at the root of the classpath and fallbacks to log4j.properties if it does not find one. It could be possible that one of the library you are using has (wrongly) a log4j.xml file at the root.
To debug log4j, run your application again with an additional flag -Dlog4j.debug=true. This will output the exact loggers and the location of the configuration file.
commons-logging does not delegate to log4j
If commons-logging does not delegate to log4j, this means that another logging framework is involved. The most common scenario is that your application ships with jcl-over-slf4j.jar, a drop-in replacement of commons-logging that uses slf4j behind the scene.
In this scenario, Spring uses commons-logging that is configured to delegate to slf4j. So, essentially, Spring is using slf4j. But slf4j is a simple logging facade and needs a binding to an actual framework.
SINCE 1.6.0 If no binding is found on the class path, then SLF4J will default to a no-operation implementation.
Once you have found the binding library (it could be logback or log4j for instance), check the configuration of the logging framework that slf4j is bound to.
In this particular case, you probably have logback in your classpath. As it is a pure implementation of slf4j, it does not need a binding library and it logs in debug if no configuration file is provided, which matches your problem actually. To fix your issue, exclude logback from your dependencies and add slf4j-log4j12 to configure slf4j with log4j.
Edit: updated with various comments
You have to disable commons-logging from the dependency in pom.xml file of the web app.
Even after removing commons-logging from pom.xml please check the dependency hierarchy available in Eclipse or STS IDE. This will help in knowing if somehow its getting added because of some other dependency which we may not be knowing.
