Why JWS3.1 tomcat8.service does not write console output to catalina.out?

Issue

  • After updating the JWS3 tomcat from tomcat8-8.0.18-62 to latest tomcat8-8.0.36-17, we have observed that tomcat doesn't write console log to catalina.out file instead it goes into /var/log/messages file? Is there any recent change in tomcat console logging?
