have you had a chance to look at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html
you can specify using either Log4J Logger or the Juli logger
Log4j specifies the Log File to append to as
log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log
the juli log folder is specified by
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
