When tomcat is restarted it will be expanding the ROOT.war file each time, therefor over writing the edits to the DataBase.xml (at least I believe thats how it works). They way I do it is take the ROOT.war, expand it, change the files I need, DataBase.xml and log4j.properties (as the location is the mac default location which isn't good for linux). Then repack the war file and put that in the webapps directory.
#!/bin/bash
unzip -qq -o -d /tmp/JSS ~/LOCATION/OF/ORIGINAL/WAR/ROOT.war
OLD="Library/JSS/Logs"
NEW="var/log/JSS"

BPATH="/tmp"
TFILE="/tmp/out.tmp.$$"
[ ! -d $BPATH ] && mkdir -p $BPATH || :
for f in $DPATH
do
if [ -f $f -a -r $f ]; then
/bin/cp -f $f $BPATH
sed "s/$OLD/$NEW/g" "$f" > $TFILE && mv $TFILE "$f"
else
echo "Error: Cannot read $f"
fi
done
/bin/rm $TFILE
