Right but it drops the user to apache if instructed to do so.
Even then logs are root owned, and this is security
precaution (like with jsvc)


And if you take a look into /var/logs, you can see exactly, that the
logs inside this directory partly don't belong to root as long as they
are not run within a root-context.

A good example ist mysql:


This is not good example. mysql doesn't need to run
on privileged port, and if your tomcat doesn't need to
run on port 80, and you don't wish to secure your
installation why using jsvc at the first place?
