Re: System.out.print <-- Where does it go?

I think you misread this one. You are 100% right on for DB server but he's asking about App Server and (I believe) specifically about J2EE based and EJBs.

For app servers, standard out and stderr are container dependant and for OC4J, the answer is found in Chapter 3 of "Containers for J2EE User's Guide" in section "Redirecting Standard Out and Standard Error" from which we see

"In an Oracle Application Server environment, the standard output and standard errors for OC4J are routed to the OPMN log for the OC4J instance."

The same section discusses how to reset this as well. Direct (but probably wrapped) link is
