No, generally I am all for extensive logging (and using different log
levels according to the value of the logging information at hand). But I
consider this to be of not much use in this case. When I call
"
http://localhost:8080/whatever/" and get a 404 response the reason for
this is normally pretty obvious. Stating that the directory (or webapp)
"whatever" has no default file (like those defined in either
default-web.xml or in my own web.xml) doesn't add much information IMHO.
