====Remove the "Apache Tomcat 7.0.x" version string in error (404) messages====

Create /var/tomcat/lib/org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties with content:
<code>
server.info=
</code>
Don't want to display anything for version number? Leave everything after server.info= empty. \\
Don't want to leave it empty? Enter text after server.info.

Tomcat needs to be restarted to pick up (changes to) the ServerInfo.properties file.
