Some commercial monitoring products perform a request to an
(unprotected) URI and, in the event of a failure, perform some specified
action. -that is, call the start script.

Otherwise, you could have Tomcat started by a (custom) watchdog, the
idea being that it kicks the start script if the expected process isn't
running.  I recall iPlanet 4 did something similar.

As for free + out-of-the-box solutions, I haven't seen any...
