With tomcat I found the problem wasn't just the terminal session being killed, but Tomcat would hang if didn't have somewhere to send its STDOUT and STDERR. (It seems to use STDERR for most of its output for some reason). Although nohup ought to redirect these itself, I've always found the need to redirect these explicitly - then all seems fine!
