ok, the issue is resolved!

Konstantin,
Your observation that output in catalina.out in Linux Live environment is different from console output in my Windows development environment
and
your statement "You have some mess in your common/lib"
prompted me to compare jar files in both the environments.
Just to check, I replaced entire content of common/lib on the Live server with the content from Development environment and voila... it worked! No more unwanted INFO and DEBUG statements in catalina.out! Thanks you very very much!

I spent some more time to find out who the culprit was. I had the following files from Xuggler (video manipulation library) build I had done on the CentOS server a couple of years ago in the Live server's common/lib folder:
* slf4j-api.jar
* logback-classic.jar
* logback-core.jar

Even though I had these these jar files for the last couple of years, I didn't encounter any issues but it looks like the last changes to my application 'triggered' these new INFO and DEBUG statements in catalina.out. I suspect that Spring's @Autowired, @JsonIgnore starts adding this INFO and DEBUG statements when you have this particular version of slf4j-api.jar and the other 2 jar files mentioned above.

It's still a bit mysterious to me but I'm going to spent my time and effort on moving application related jar files out of Tomcat's common/lib to the application's WEB-INF/lib and then on upgrading to Tomcat 7

I really appreciate all the help I got in helping me solve this issue. I haven't seen this level of participation and received this level of support in any other forums I have interacted with over the last 3-4 years!
