Why am I now seeing error messages from "atmosphere" in my logs?

General

I recently started seeing warning messages from “Atmosphere” in our tomcat error log. I don’t really know (or care much about) what Atmosphere does - I happily assume it’s something Vaadin takes advantage of. But why am I seeing these messages now? Was it our recent move from Tomcat 5 to Tomcat 7 (don’t ask why we were stil on 5) or a change in Vaadin (7.1.15 currently) or Chart add-on (1.1.6)? Does anyone know what I need to do to get rid of these messages? Any help is much appreciated.

Here are the warning messages I see:
May 16, 2014 4:53:44 PM org.atmosphere.cpr.AtmosphereFramework init
WARNING: No BroadcasterCache configured. Broadcasted message between client reconnection will be LOST. It is recommended to configure the org.atmosphere.cache.UUIDBroadcasterCache

WARNING: Failed using comet support: org.atmosphere.container.Tomcat7AsyncSupportWithWebSocket, error: Tomcat failed to detect this is a Comet application because context.xml is missing or the Http11NioProtocol Connector is not enabled. If that’s not the case, you can also remove META-INF/context.xml and WEB-INF/lib/atmosphere-compat-tomcat.jar Is the Nio or Apr Connector enabled?

And to top it all off, I’ve seen this exception once so far:

Hi, the “Session expired” exception is probably a bug; if you see it regularly, please open a ticket at
the Vaadin trac
. Vaadin 7.2 configures a broadcaster cache so that warning shouldn’t be an issue anymore.

Anyway, if you’d like to hide the Atmosphere logging, you can do that using a standard java.util.logging configuration; for example the following logging.properties file only displays SEVERE messages from Atmosphere:

handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
.level = INFO
org.atmosphere.level = SEVERE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
4

Where should that logging.properties file be placed? I put it under src/ (and I’ve checked that Eclipse copies that file into WEB-INF/classes and that Tomcat is opening that file for reading), but the Atmosphere logs are the same as before…

I ended up changing the global java.util.logging config file (in my system located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\logging.properties) where I added:

org.atmosphere.level = WARNING
