How to setup log filter

Question

Hi,
          In our simple application, uses only jsps, during client
          authentication we throw a LoginException meaning that user
          is not logged in. This exception is thrown all the way up and
          then control is passed to the error page, where we check
          for the LoggingException and forward client to a login page.
          Everything works fine, only one minor thing this exception
          is logged into weblogic trace file, which makes quite a big.
          We would like the trace about LoginException been filtered out
          from weblogic log file. What's the best way of doing this.
          Thanks in advance,
          Yevgeny

Hi Yevgeny!
          Probably what you are doing is that you are using the errorpage tag of the
          JSP to send the control to
          the error page.
          Well to stop the exception form logging, don't let the errorpage tag handle
          it.
          Instead I recommend that you catch the exception at the JSP where it is
          thrown
          and then forward it to the error page with a suitable error message id in
          the request.
          This will make it easy for you to find out on the error page as to what
          exception was thrown or
          the cause of the exception.
          Any more questions you have in this regard, please email me.
          Regards
