To avoid the exceptions getting logged, you'll need to catch them in the
servlet or JSP itself (which is a much better programming practice than
letting them flow through), so that the servlet container never sees them.
Exceptions from servlets and JSPs should not be considered "normal" --
they are an indication of an error condition that the application should
have taken care of, but did not.
To change how much gets logged when an exception is caught by Tomcat,
you'll need to modify the Tomcat sources.
