Actually, Tomcat doesn't write anything to stdout and stderr, but site-supplied webapps often do, apparently being too lazy to use a logger. These may be captured with the swallowOutput attribute of the <Context> element, if desired. > Under Windows, you are probably running the JVM and Tomcat under a > "service wrapper" (e.g. bin/tomcat6.exe).

The stdout/stderr files for Tomcat as a Windows service are in Tomcat's logs directory, under the names stdout_yyyyMMdd.log and stderr_yyyyMMdd.log, respectively. These may be changed by installing the service with the appropriate parameters.
