Yes,  You can (and i think should) log each app to it's own log file.   Each one has it's own log4j.properties.  It's either in the webapps dir or the place where you configure tomcat to get the app from in sever.xml.  Stdout will print out where it gets it from on grouper start up

log4j.properties read from:   C:\temp\grouperInstaller\grouper.apiBinary-2.0.2\conf\log4j.properties

Thanks Chris

Also happy to RTFM if I've overlooked this info somewhere and someone points
me to it...
