your distribution / package

as you can see it's not a systemd unit at all
/etc/init.d/tomcat8

use "systemctl mask" instead "sytecmtl disable" if you *really* want to 
disable stuff and ensue it never ever can be enabled again

this overrides also LSB init scripts with the same name with a symlink 
to /dev/null
