I have searched through the mailing list archive and the FAQ and I can't seem to fins a way to disable the INFO and WARNING messages that tomcat outputs at startup.
Here are some of the messages Oct 31, 2003 1:43:53 PM org.apache.commons.modeler.Registry loadRegistry INFO: Loading registry information Oct 31, 2003 1:43:53 PM org.apache.commons.modeler.Registry getRegistry INFO: Creating new Registry instance Oct 31, 2003 1:43:53 PM org.apache.commons.modeler.Registry getServer INFO: Creating MBeanServer Oct 31, 2003 1:43:54 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on port 8080 Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.1.27 Oct 31, 2003 1:43:55 PM java.util.jar.Attributes read WARNING: Duplicate name in Manifest: Depends-On Oct 31, 2003 1:43:55 PM java.util.jar.Attributes read WARNING: Duplicate name in Manifest: Depends-On Also, if anyone how to fix the "WARNING: Duplicate name in Manifest: Depends-On" message that would be much appreciated. -- Rick
