> Opinion needed:  do we need to reduce the amount of output that is logged when a 404 is issued from the server?
> The logging occurs in org.apache.wink.server.internal.RequestProcessor.logException.  Note that in all cases, the stack trace will be printed.  Specifically, a 404 will land in the logger.info, and will print a full stack trace to the log.  Is this really necessary?
> On the one hand, it may be valuable to see which handler determined that a client has targetted a missing resource.  On the other hand, info is probably sufficient.  Also, consider what happens when a malicious client comes along trying to fill up server logs or otherwise hack a server by hitting any and all URLs and resource it can.
