Tried two ways:
* %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\context.xml adding attribute, so "<Context
swallowOutput="true" ..."
* adding a context.xml to
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\testapp\META-INF\context.xml consisting of
"<Context swallowOutput="true"></Context> only
Did not make a difference.
Having permutated so many different things I will delete everything and start
over with a pristine
unzipped Tomcat 10 to see if that makes a difference.
