Why not? Anything you need to do should probably be specified in a
configuration file that can be loaded without using $HOME. Your
application seems fragile.

Tomcat itself does not change any environment variables other than:

PRGDIR(for internal use)
CLASSPATH (removes existing value before calling setenv.sh)
CATALINA_HOME (only if unset)
CATALINA_BASE (only if unset)
QIBM_MULTI_THREADED (on OS/400)
JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS (appends)

Any other changes to environment variables are being done by some
other component outside of Tomcat. Note that this could include
something your package-manager (Debian) has done.

yes, I mean the HOME variable for this user.

user xnat is effectively the user that will run tomcat8 service.
I don't need HOME to be specific, I need it to be at its original and 
classical location "/home/xnat" and not in a tomcat related directory...

My question is: who changed this HOME variable and how to reverse it back
Thank you

Most "services" do not have a "HOME" in the usual sense.

Why do you need HOME to be something specific?
