Your logging is not configured properly. 
Setup the log4j.properties and this should take care of that issue.

Subject: Plain text passwords printed to catalina.out

Passwords submitted via password form fields over SSL are showing up in
plain text in my catalina.out. Is this something I should be concerned
about and, more importantly, something I can turn off? 

When any POST form is submitted (port 80 or 443,) The plain-text form
data is in my catalina.out. I see the following in catalina.out when a
login form is submitted via SSL(where XXXX... is the actual password) It
doesn't seem to happen while logging in to the tomcat-admin app over
localhost:8080, only with apps accessed over apache/mod_jk (actual hex
has been obfuscated)

Catalina.out has the following permissions:
-rw------- 1 root root 902 Aug 31 09:04 catalina.out
 
Thanks
