Tomcat 7.0, logging configuration

Hi.

I notice in the online doc of Tomcat 7.0, page
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html
at the end of the first big box on the page, this paragraph :

# For example, set the com.xyz.foo logger to only log SEVERE
# messages:
#org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.level = FINE
#org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.level = FINE
#org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase.level = FINE

I am far from an expert in Tomcat logging (*), but it seems to me that this section is 
rather nonsensical.  I believe the same section is also part of the logging.properties 
file distributed with Tomcat.
..and has been distributed with Tomcat since at least version 5.0, in the same apparently 
nonsensical way.

Might not this 7.0 release be the perfect occasion to make it more sensical, or retire it ?


(*) which is why I was perusing that page, in the forlorn hope of getting more enlightened

Fixed. Thanks for the prompt. It will be in 7.0.1.

Actually, it has been fixed.  The 7.0.0 logging.properties file now has this at the end:

# For example, set the org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase logger to log
# each component that extends LifecycleBase changing state:
#org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.level = FINE

The docs haven't caught up yet.

You know the refrain now, don't you?
"Patches are welcome."
