which includes dependencies on JUnit, Java bean validation API and the Hibernate validator reference implementation.

This is a simple Hello World application with Spring 3 MVC. Like the default Apache HTTPd welcome page, it displays " It works! " when successfully deployed. The sole purpose is to show the minimum elements needed to setup Spring 3 MVC.
I use Maven since it's so much easier than downloading the dependencies manually.
Directory layout:

./src/main
./src/main/webapp

By default, tomcat uses an enhanced java.util.logging implementation called JULI, which can be configured at two different levels: Globally, with the ${catalina.base}/conf/logging.properties file. Per web application, with WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties . The configuration file is a normal Java properties file: Logging handlers are specified with the handlers property.
handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, ... The root logger can define its set of handlers using the .handlers property. .handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,... A prefix may be added to handler names. The prefix starts with a digit and ends with a dot ( . ), for example: # 1catalina. is a prefix 1catalina.org.apache.j... System property replacement is performed for property values which contain ${systemPropertyName} . Each handler can have its own specific properties: 3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE ... Loggers can define their own...

Tomcat 7.0 failed with a SEVERE error without printing a stack trace:
Dec 30, 2011 1:21:09 PM org.apache.catalina.core.S...
Now it's hard to figure out what's wrong without knowing where things went wrong. Why is Tomcat not logging anything?
Tomcat logging is configured by class loader. Logging behaves differently depending on which class loader loaded the logger. You'll need to look at both $CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties and WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties to figure out why the stack trace is not logged.
In my case, the web app specific WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties overshadowed the system $CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties and suppressed the stack trace.

Tomcat allows you to create multiple server instances for the same installation. The installation directory is identified as CATALINA_HOME , the instance directory is identified as CATALINA_BASE . Here are the steps: Create a base directory for the new instance, for example: /home/nogeek/tomcat1 . Create the subdirectories:
mkdir -p /home/nogeek/tomcat/{bin,conf,logs,temp,w... Copy web.xml from the installation directory: cp $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml /home/nogeek/tomcat...

In the simple taglib example , I used a tag handler class to implement a taglib. This is an example to implement a taglib with a UI component. The purpose is to use a custom tag to split a string and print each part in a separate paragraph, i.e., print
<p>john</p> <p>steve</p> <p>mike</p> with custom tag <my:foreach> : <my:foreach var="who" value="john steve mike"> ...

By default, alfresco.log is located in the current working directory (where you started Tomcat from). But you can override the default location with a custom lo4g.properties file:
Create file $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-log4j.properties with contents:
log4j.rootLogger=error, File
log4j.appender...
The Alfresco log will be relocated to /home/alfresco/logs (but somehow s small portion remains in the CWD).
This works only when the shared.loader property in conf/catalina.properties includes ${catalina.home}/shared/classes .
