stop quartz debug logging log4j

i'm stuck trying to turn off the annoying DEBUG logging of quartz. i'm using log4j as logging framework and i've already tried to add this line to the lg4j proprieties file ``` "log4j.logger.org.quartz=ERROR" ``` i'm still getting tons of these debugging logging messages ``` 13:35:44.680 [MyScheduler_QuartzSchedulerThread] DEBUG o.quartz.core.QuartzSchedulerThread - batch acquisition of 0 triggers ``` how can i turn this function off ? EDIT. i've moved my configuration to xml file...but still getting the same annoying problem ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration> <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> <param name="Target" value="System.out" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> <logger name="org.quartz" > <level value="ERROR" /> <appender-ref ref="console" /> </logger> <logger name="org.hibernate"> <level value="ERROR" /> <appender-ref ref="console" /> </logger> <logger name="com.mchange.v2.c3p0" additivity="false"> <level value="ERROR" /> <appender-ref ref="console" /> </logger> <root> <priority value="ERROR" /> <appender-ref ref="console" /> </root> </log4j:configuration> ``` EDIT2...here's my pom.xml file (interesting part) ``` <!-- slf4j-log4j --> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId> <version>1.6.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> <version>1.2.9</version> </dependency> <!-- QUARTZ --> <dependency> <groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId> <artifactId>quartz</artifactId> <version>2.1.7</version> </dependency> ``` EDIT3 jar in classpath ``` activation-1.1.jar ant-1.8.2.jar ant-launcher-1.8.2.jar antlr-2.7.7.jar asm-1.5.3.jar asm-attrs-1.5.3.jar asm-commons-3.3.jar asm-tree-3.3.jar bcmail-jdk14-1.38.jar bcmail-jdk14-138.jar bcprov-jdk14-1.38.jar bcprov-jdk14-138.jar bctsp-jdk14-1.38.jar c3p0-0.9.1.1.jar castor-1.2.jar cglib-2.1_3.jar commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar commons-codec-1.5.jar commons-collections-3.2.1.jar commons-digester-2.1.jar commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar commons-io-2.0.1.jar commons-lang-2.5.jar commons-logging-1.1.1.jar dom4j-1.6.1.jar ehcache-1.2.3.jar filename.txt freemarker-2.3.18.jar groovy-all-2.1.3.jar hibernate-3.2.7.ga.jar hibernate-annotations-3.3.0.ga.jar hibernate-c3p0-4.1.10.Final.jar hibernate-commons-annotations-3.3.0.ga.jar hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.1.Final.jar hibernate-core-4.1.10.Final.jar hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar itext-2.1.7.jar jackson-annotations-2.0.5.jar jackson-core-2.0.5.jar jackson-databind-2.0.5.jar jasperreports-5.1.0.jar javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar javassist-3.15.0-GA.jar jboss-logging-3.1.0.GA.jar jboss-transaction-api_1.1_spec-1.0.0.Final.jar jcommon-1.0.15.jar jdbc-mysql.jar jdtcore-3.1.0.jar jfreechart-1.0.12.jar jta-1.1.jar log4j-1.2.9.jar logback-classic-1.0.10.jar logback-core-1.0.11.jar mail-1.4.jar mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar ognl-3.0.4.jar ooxml-schemas-1.1.jar openxml4j-1.0-beta.jar poi-3.9.jar poi-contrib-3.7-beta3.jar poi-examples-3.9.jar poi-excelant-3.9.jar poi-ooxml-3.9.jar poi-ooxml-schemas-3.9.jar poi-scratchpad-3.9.jar quartz-2.1.7.jar servlet-api-2.5.jar slf4j-api-1.7.2.jar slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar stax-api-1.0.1.jar struts2-core-2.3.1.2.jar struts2-json-plugin-2.3.1.2.jar xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar xwork-core-2.3.1.2.jar ```
