By default the embedded Tomcat uses the logging configuration provided by the JDK. If you haven't changed the configuration only a ConsoleHandler is configured. If you wanted to programmatically add a FileHandler you can add it to the root logger. Here's an example that writes to the file catalina.out by appending the messages on INFO level. This works for Tomcat 6.x and 7.x.

Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("");
Handler fileHandler = new FileHandler("catalina.out", true);
fileHandler.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
fileHandler.setLevel(Level.INFO);
fileHandler.setEncoding("UTF-8");
logger.addHandler(fileHandler);
