right now when i do from my servlets

System.out.println(...)

it goes to /logs/catalina.out

file. i've got several webapps and all of them send to
the same file.

is there a way to direct to a separate file
(i.e. each webapp to a separate file).

thx

System.out.println is very bad from a performance perspective.
Switch to log4j.

As a bonus log4j will also allow you to separate output.

One way is to place a logging.properties file in each webapp, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html for details.
