Too many lines in my log file

Question

Hy every body,
I've made a Tomcat project under Eclipse and I'm using log4j.
I've configured my log4j in "log4j-config.xml" file.
I've made one file per level (DEBUG, INFO, WARN and ERROR), but I'm receiving too many lines in my "debug.log" file.
Example:
17:52:39 - [main] [DEBUG] org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils : BeanUtils.populate(org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin@14d556e, {definitions-parser-validate=true, definitions-parser-details=2, definitions-debug=2, moduleAware=true, definitions-config=/WEB-INF/struts/struts-tiles-defs.xml})
17:52:39 - [main] [DEBUG] org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils : setProperty(org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin@14d556e, definitions-parser-validate, true)
17:52:39 - [main] [DEBUG] org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils : setProperty(org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin@14d556e, definitions-parser-details, 2)
Can some one tell me how to filter my logs.
Here is a part of my "log4j-config.xml" file:
<appender name="DEBUG" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
          <param name="File" value="${log.path}/debug.log" />
<param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG" />
<param name="Append" value="false" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{HH:mm:ss} - [%t] [%-5p] %c : %m%n" />
</layout>
     </appender>
Thanks in advance.

Hy every body,
I've made a Tomcat project under Eclipse and I'm
using log4j.
I've configured my log4j in "log4j-config.xml" file.
I've made one file per level (DEBUG, INFO, WARN and
ERROR), but I'm receiving too many lines in my
"debug.log" file.Then don't use that level. The whole point of the various levels is to be able to trade off level of detail for volume of output. Debug is meant to be very verbose.
You can set various classes or packages to log at different levels, overriding the default for that logger. So if you don't want debug output for com.acme.whatever, then in log4j.properties or log4j.xml or whatever, you can configure that package and all "subpackages" for info, warn, or error. See log4j's docs for details.
