Hi Chrisian,
Do you know how to modify catalina.sh to separate System.out and System.err one 
from another...
Thanks,
Alex

Tomcat redirects System.out and System.err (see catalina.sh):
..
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start \
   >> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &
..

It really depends how these messages are generated.
If you are using System.out.println  I think the only way is to set 
System.out within your webapp:
System.setOut(new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new 
FileOutputStream("yourfilename"))));

But if if you're using a logger .. well, configure it accordingly ;-)
