Hi,

Thanks for the replies from both of you (Chris and Chuck). One final question, 
what attribute of the server element would I need to change if I wanted to stop 
the tomcat version being reported in the http header? Looking at the docs there 
are only 4 attributes, is it classname? Would I need to implement a custom 
class if so?

Then undeploy it:

1. Stop Tomcat
2. Remove the file $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/manager.xml

(I would recommend moving it somewhere, in case you want to bring it back at 
some point).

You might want to look at any other applications that are deployed by default. 
Any .xml files in that directory will deploy other applications. You should 
remove anything you don't need.

Have you changed the "server" attribute of your <Connector>s? If not, your HTTP 
headers are likely revealing the Tomcat version you are using.
Is that a big deal?

Unless you have deployed your own webapp as the ROOT webapp, you will get 404 
errors that might contain this information. If you *do* have your webapp 
deployed as ROOT, then your own <error-page> configuration from web.xml should 
be able to take care of 404 errors and show whatever page you'd rather see.
