help with log4j.xml

I have a dilemma configuring my log4j.xml (attached below) for the Quartz web-app.

It is spitting out log messages to stdout (which my Tomcat instance then logs) for INFO reported by Quartz's LoggingJobHistory plugin. It is using the "stdout" appender defined below; I can tell this because I put the "ZZZ" there and it makes its way into the Tomcat log.

I can't figure out why, though. The only things that are using the "stdout" appender are root and org.apache, both setup for WARN. Why am I getting INFO messages?

Tomcat intercepts all output to stdout and stderr and redirects them to log4j. Any application code that uses stdout or stderr will therefore appear in the usual log4j log files.

I suspect the LoggingJobHistory plugin is writing stuff to stdout, which is poor practice, but not terribly surpring (the Quartz codebase isn't exactly top notch).
