Turning off local access log

Will removing this valve from my server.xml stop access logging?  Right 
now it's trying to log every one of the 4M hits I get per day.

         <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" 
directory="logs"
                prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
                pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />


Can I just comment it out?

Better said.  That is what I was trying to get at.

It will also not log requests that weren't directed to your app.

Yes, it logs all requests that don't pass its integrity checks.

Yes, but does your app log intentionally mal-formed requests?

Logging is handled by the app; I don't need this from Tomcat.

Yes, but it is a bad idea unless you have access logging elsewhere.
