Where can I see system.out.println message?

Question

I have a helper class like this:

public class FtHelper {

    Session session = null;

    public FtHelper() {
        this.session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
    }

    public FinancialTransactions getByBeginDate(String beginDate) {

        List<FinancialTransactions> FtList = null;

        try {
            org.hibernate.Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
            Query q = session.createQuery(
                    "from FinancialTransactions where DATE=:date")
                    .setParameter("date", beginDate);
            FtList = (List<FinancialTransactions>) q.list();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return FtList.get(0);
    }
}

I add a System.out.println(beginDate); just above return, but it doesn't appear to print anything. I also used System.out.println("anytext") , but it didn't work either. Where can I see that output message in Netbeans? By the way, I get the value beginDate from my JSF.

You should be able to find the output (most of the time) in catalina.out .

Under Windows , you should be able to find it in the folder: <Tomcat Folder>\\logs
