That is totally up to the servlet container to decide.

Different versions of Tomcat are configured differently, but they
certainly do write to files in the logs directory if you configure them
to. For example, in Tomcat 4 you'll see an entry like this in server.xml:
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="catalina_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
which establishes that the default logger (unless you override it at a
lower level) writes to files named "catalina_log.YYYY-MM-DD.txt" in the
logs directory.
Other servlet containers will provide their own mechanisms for
configuring where logging goes.
