Hi,

This sounds like a problem specific to the distribution's tomcat
package, which is usually better served by the distribution's
community rather than Tomcat's (they repackage what we provide). You
may want to ask on their users list/support forum/etc, but I will try
and help though :)

Before what? Before you installed the Debain tomcat package? Or did
you install the xnat package? Something else?

When you say deploy, do you mean install xnat's package? Or copy a war
into place? I ask because /var/lib/tomcat8 isn't CATALINA_BASE or
CATALINA_HOME (which were my first thoughts), so it seems to have some
configuration elsewhere.

That output looks pretty standard for a distro's tomcat package
(follows FHS with /usr/share/tomcat8, etc).
