Dbms_output of pl/sql proceudre called within class

Question

Sorry for double post, I think I posted my question in General Java forum before.
I have a servlet which calls a method in RMI server where a PL/SQL procedure is executed. There is an existing dbms_output.put_line statement in that pl/sql which shows some error codes BUT not exceptions ( its not being aborted or being stopped)
I am trying to find where that output will appear? The servlet is run from tomcat and I looked in the tomcat logs and the RMI server logs and nothing appears from that dbms_output statement. I have verified that there is some value in the variable that's being displayed by the dbms_output statement and it is being called/processed and is not skipped.
Can someone please advise if that dbms_output will appear in some logs or spool or will not?

I wondered how I could test the output of the function from within TOAD?I usually create the following function in my developer schema:
create or replace function BoolToChar( b boolean ) return varchar2 is
begin
  if b then
    return( 'TRUE' );
  else
    return( 'FALSE' );
  end if;
end;To test a function like yours, the following will do in SQL*Plus/TOAD/etc:
begin
  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(
    BoolToChar( XCCC_PO_APPROVALLIST_S1.does_cpa_exist(1017934)  )
end;
I'm probably doing 101 things wrong here, but thought I'd ask anyway and risk being shouted at.Shout at? You reckon? I thought people risked being beaten with a lead pipe, or pelted with beer cans and stale pretzels - which makes being shouted at a really safe and viable alternative. {noformat};-){noformat}
