Your log4j.properties looks OK for me. You have to reinitialize log4j to get rid of your DEBUG messages.
There are at least to ways to do this: 1) Restart Tomcat. ( Not good for production system). 2) Use a init Servlet for your webapps and initialize log4j with PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch or DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch See API docs and user manual for details.
