I guess you could write a custom OutputStream subclass for the System.out in your non-servlet classes that would interface with the layer that connects those classes to the webapp and specifically with Logger instances. However, I think this approach would violate the KISS rule and attract the wrath of future generations of programmers (or your colleagues). It's really easier to replace System.out.print() with commons-logging calls judging from the information you supplied but it's your call.
