Hi all
Here is a set of instruction for debugging Tomcat 4 under WebGain Visual
Café 4.5 Standard Edition. Variation of these instructions may work for
other platforms as well.
Just extract the zip and load up index.html
Regards
Donie

Not true.
Using the default startup scripts, System.out.println() on Windows *does*
go to the console window. On Unix systems, it defaults to the file
$CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out, which you can snoop on by typing:
tail -f $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out
while Tomcat is running.
If you want to use a logging package like Log4J in your application, that
works fine as well - just put log4j.jar inside your /WEB-INF/lib directory
and go for it.
