One option is to use log4j (http://logging.apache.org/log4j). you can specify loggers for each application writing to pre-defined locations.
however, you will also have to maintain some disciplin, since log4j or the java-logging-api are not able to redirect stdout. That means: Do not use System.out / System.err but use your preferred logger instead. Unfortunately, some central applications (like commons.pool f.e.) do not care about any loggers but just dump their output to System.out. You could specify in $catalina_home/commons/classes/log4j.xml a logger based on the classnames that produces the output, however, if those central components just use System.out/err instead of logging, you will have to live with this. Anyways, moving your applications to log4j / [enter your preferred logging-api here] is a great step into the right direction, esp. if you want to destinguish between error-weight of the message and the source where this message came from.
