Public bug reported:

The tomcat8 SRU (LP: #1817567) for bionic introduces a systemd service
instead of init scripts.

It is documented in the NEWS file for the tomcat8 package, repeated
here:

  The tomcat8 package now provides a proper systemd service file.
  Here are the notable differences with the init.d script previously used
  to start Tomcat:

  * The service assumes that Tomcat runs as the tomcat8 user. The user and
    group defined in /etc/default/tomcat8 are ignored. If you've configured
    a different user you have to override the default service file. This is
    done by creating a /etc/systemd/system/tomcat8.service.d/override.conf
    file containing:

      [Service]
      User=<username>
      Group=<groupname>

  * authbind is no longer necessary to bind to privileged ports (< 1024)

  * Tomcat log messages are now sent to journald and can be retrieved
with:

      journalctl -t tomcat8

  * The log entries in catalina.out are now timestamped.

  * The /var/run/tomcat8.pid file is no longer created.

** Affects: tomcat8 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
