  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Server logs are unnecessarily logging   *
  *                      java.io.FileNotFoundException for       *
  *                      static files.                           *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Server logs are unnecessarily logging
  java.io.FileNotFoundException for static files.  This is
  unnecessary because any non-existing file requested by the
  browser should have already caused a 404 HTTP response.  The
  root cause of this unnecessary exception shows up in any
  filter that does not properly handle the exception. The last
  filter in the chain is the CrossSiteScriptingFilter, so it
  should handle it. These unnecessary exceptions in the system
  log can make the system log file bigger than usual and make
  debugging and tracing more difficult.
  

Problem conclusion

• The issue is fixed by catching and ignoring
  FileNotFoundException.
