Hi All,  Thanks for all your replies.  Turns out it was in fact Railo.  I
searched the Railo repo on GitHub and found a reference to that header.  I
was able to overwrite it with a blank string using this line of code.

<cfset getPageContext().getResponse().setHeader("exception-message","")>

It may also be useful to know if you get this same "exception-message"
header when you get a 404 from the Railo servlet (from a request for a .cfm
file).

It may help determine if Railo is involved or not.

Subject: "exception-message" header reveals path to document root in 404
response.


  I'm failing a PCI compliance scan because my Tomcat Version 7.0.20 server
is revealing the path to the document web root in an "exception-message"
header when a missing page is requested.


If you were really worried about security, you wouldn't be running a
version of Tomcat that's 2.5 years old.  Seriously, upgrade.

  Does anyone know of way to get rid of this header from the response?


Use your own custom error page.

  Note: I'm running Railo 4.1.2 on top of Tomcat ... but I think this
header
is coming from Tomcat.


Nope.  Here's Tomcat's standard 404 response:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 1027
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 23:59:34 GMT

Most likely Railo is using a "friendly" error page.
