Sure it will. Check the "copytruncate" option.

No, you don't. Why do people make statements like this? You can try it
yourself. It takes like 5 seconds:

$ bin/startup.sh
(observe log file with messages)
$ > logs/catalina.out
(observe empty log file)
(redeploy an application, or do something that will generate output in
catalina.out)
(observe new messages in catalina.out)

What part of that doesn't work?
