title: Print custom message when WAR is deployed in Tomcat
body: <p>Is there a way to put something in your <code>WAR</code> file (maybe in <code>META-INF</code>) that will print a customized greeting or message when it is deployed in <code>Tomcat 7</code>?</p>
  
  <p>For example, without it, the alert is rather inconspicuous:</p>
  
  <pre><code>INFO: Deployment of web application directory myTCdir/myapp has finished in 137 ms
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In addition to that, I would like to display something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>*******************************************
  * Welcome to My App
  *******************************************
  </code></pre>
