Is it required to add org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener for tomcat 8 server.xml?

I am upgrading to tomcat 8 from 7. Is it required to add this listener?

<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener" />
Solution

  • As far as I know this listener prints the application server and OS informations. It should be the first on the list of listeners included in the <Server> element but can be ommited.
