Logging broken on RHEL 6/7

[joshuabaird]

Logging does not appear to be functioning properly on RHEL6/7.

On RHEL6 (tomcat6):

• /var/lib/tomcat6/lib/log4j.properties is created
• /var/log/tomcat is created
• Nothing is actually written to /var/log/tomcat.log, instead logs are being written to $CATALINA_BASE/logs.

On RHEL7 (tomcat7):

• It looks like install.pp doesn't include tomcat::logging if the host is RHEL7.
• /var/log/tomcat/catalina.out exists but is 0bytes
• Real logs are going to $CATALINA_BASE/logs.

My lack of tomcat knowledge is making this difficult for me to fix/troubleshoot. Any ideas?

I am facing the same issue, was there any resolution?

No - I started using aco/tomcat.
