I mean this log is helpful troubleshooting issues in production systems. We 
can't have Tomcat log level set to DEBUG in this case.
And debugging on local/development environments. Agree, in this case, we could 
change the Tomcat logging configuration and get this log.

Thanks,
Amit

If the purpose of this is debugging / troubleshooting they why not just enable 
debug logging when needed?
