Login failures spams server.log

I run Glassfish 3 with a JDBC realm and form-based authentication. It works
fine, BUT every time a user mis-types his password, a WARNING message, with a
loong traceback, is appended to server.log . That spams server.log, making it
hard to find any REAL problems.

To begin with, the traceback feels utterly useless, so can I get rid of it?
Furhermore, it would be nice to keep track of login failures not in
server.log but in some other log.

Is there a way to fix this?

For your amusement, here follows a sample entry in server.log:
