I am sorry, but do you always log to system.out in your applications?
Maybe you should take a look at some of numerous logging projects,
starting with
log4j as the most prominent.

With utmost respect, Leon, but this is Off-Topic.
(and even more so is you next post)
In my original post (and I apologise if this was not clear enough), I am
specifically trying to speak for the sysadmin / average Tomcat user, and
appealing to experts (such as you probably), to help make it simpler for
these people to use and configure Tomcat. Please.
I have no doubt that for experts, the logging as it is now is probably
clear, effective, efficient, flexible and everything you would ask for.
log4j is a beautiful package, but it is a monster, requiring deep Java
knowledge, and even so, many hours of dedicated work to dominate.
From the look of it, Commons Logging is a similar piece of cake.
No doubt that for someone who mainly does Java programming for a living,
it is worth the effort.
But many (the majority ?) of Tomcat users and administrators do not have
that time, at least not for that package alone, when they simultaneously
have to learn a little bit of many other packages.
That does not mean that they don't like Tomcat, at least not yet.
Or else, shall we say up front that Tomcat is a development tool, to be
used exclusively by Java and Tomcat programming specialists, and not in
production environments ?
