I don't have a solution to your question.
However, as tomcat opens several ports, including server management ports,
it might be interesting to allow management applications to "ping" tomcat on
one of these ports and relaunch the service if it doesn't respond.
I don't know how to "ping" tomcat in this way. Restarting the service
should be possible in platform-dependent ways ("Runtime.exec(...) ...") --
would be nice if the Java Daemons API became available... :-(
