Are you aware that your username gets appended to the start of the .war filename if it isn't already there? So if you submit the file FINAL.war it gets renamed to pato_FINAL.war before it's deployed. If you submit pato_FINAL.war then it stays the same. We have to append the username because otherwise only one person whould be able to deploy a file by each name. Sometimes this has caused issues for people who aren't used to running their java applications in a multi-user environment.
No, you may not have access to the tomcat logs because the tomcat logs contain private information pertaining to all of the java enabled accounts on the server. Granting access to view them would violate our privacy policy. I've suggested multiple times, but I'm not sure if anyone has tried it yet, to have your .war file write log files directly to your /home/pato/ directory.
