I believe the standard out-of-the-box server.xml config
has a comment that says
<!-- if you don't want messages on screen, add the attribute
path="logs/tomcat.log"
to the Logger element below
-->
<Logger name="tc_log"
verbosityLevel = "INFORMATION"
/>
simply adding in path="logs/tomcat.log" as an attribute
of this Logger element should create you a file.....
