has any one put together a faq/howto on securing tomcat?

our first goal is to prevent determination of the server version by a web 
client.

an example of this is for url http://127.1:8080/xxdfsdf this is returned, note the 
Server: 
Apache Coyote/1.0 and Apache Tomcat/4.1.12

HTTP/1.1 404 /xxdfsdf
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Language: en-US
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2002 20:46:09 GMT
Server: Apache Coyote/1.0

<html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/4.1.12 - Error
