• To mitigate this problem a different log level can be assigned to the class that prints the warning: com.google.template.soy.shared.restricted.Sanitizers

  • To do so, because it relies on JDK Logging, you must configure the following line in your logging.properties file:

    com.google.template.soy.shared.restricted.Sanitizers.level=SEVERE

  • In Tomcat this file, by default, resides in the following path: $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/logging.properties
