Chris,
I cant thank you enough for all your help. If only there was a rating 
system on this forum! ;)

thing is, I am not using ant System.out commands in my app. I have log4j 
set up in the app which is logging to a different log file that rolls 
nightly.
But I am seeing the same log messages (info level from the application) 
being dumped into catalina.out, so these are definitely not System.out 
logs.
any idea how to turn off logging these log4j messages to catalina.out?
I do have a log4j.properties file in CATALINA_HOME/common/classes 
(attached for your reference). Other than that, I do not know how the 
log messages are ending up in catalina.out

thanks,
-Riz.
