How to modify default tomcat http header property "Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1" ?

Hi all,
 
I deployed a servlet in Tomcat which sends  response to all http post
requests, and I composed the response data by HttpServletResponse
object.
 
But I found Tomcat will generate a default http header property in the
response: "Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1"
 
So my question is : Is there a way to change the value? eg: change it to
"Server: For-Test"
 
I try to use below method: 
response.setHeader("Server", "For-Test");
 
Then the http header becomes to:
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Server: For-test
 
But the "Apache-Coyote/1.1" still there.  So how can I delete it or
modify it? Thanks!

Thanks for your help David.

 Get the answer, write it here in case someone meets same problem in
future:
 
add server attribute in Connector element of the conf/server.xml,
something like this:
 
<Connector .... server="test" ... >
 
Thanks
Han

You didn't mention which version of tomcat you are using.  Starting w/
5.5, the server attribute can be added to the Connector in server.xml.  
See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html for further
details.
