I apologize if I'm not responding correctly to the thread. I'm new to the distro and couldn't find anything to tell me how to respond.
I agree that we shouldn't add useless output. I've worked on projects where there has been too much output. My concern is that there is nothing to indicate the WebAppServiceLoader was working. I know it is not the responsibility of Tomcat to get my application running. If there was something to indicate that Tomcat had failed to load my applications I wouldn't habe had to debug it and a fix could've been done faster. If the official response is to hook up a debugger and figure out the problem then the output is not needed. The output I'm proposing is small and will be at a high enough verbosity that it won't be on all the time. As I said before, I can submit a fix. Thanks, Chris
