Reducing information disclosure in Tomcat error pages

By default, Tomcat's error pages disclose both the existence of Tomcat and the exact version of the container that's handling the requests. This is nice for development, but in a production context this information is a potential security hole and it would be nice to disable it. Thus I would like to know what the best (as in most strai...

I've managed to enable access logging in Tomcat by editing the conf/server.xml and uncommenting the entry for the org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve Valve.
