My Java application (Spring, Hibernate, MySQL) is running in Tomcat 5.5

After the last set of changes to my application, Tomcat's catalina.out file is 
growing very rapidly. With each query it adds a few MBs of INFO and DEBUG 
statements to the file.

The log file has very large number of INFO and DEBUG statements such as the 
following:
01:52:45.412 [main] INFO  o.hibernate.cfg.annotations.Version - Hibernate 
Annotations 3.5.6-Final

In the last change, I removed the following jar file:
ejb3-persistance.jar

and added the following jar files:
aspectjtools-1.5.4.jar
bval-core-0.3-incubating.jar
hibernate-validator-4.1.0.Final.jar
jackson-core-asl-1.6.4.jar
jackson-mapper-asl-1.6.4.jar
joda-time-1.6.2.jar
joda-time-jsptags-1.0.2.jar
jstl-1.2.jar
validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar

I've been struggling with this for 2+ days!

I asked this question on a couple of other forums but that hasn't helped me 
solve this issue.

Hibernate: https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1015204

Could someone tell me how to prevent these Hibernate's INFO and DEBUG 
statements from getting added to catalina.out file? Much appreciated.
