| It's ruby, so you could technically use Thread.sleep in your recipe but I think using timing is a really sloppy way to do it, as really you don't know how long it would take for tomcat to do the stuff that you are waiting for because the machines you deploy on could have wildly different specs (memory, CPU speed, etc); your script would not be reliable or completely predictable.
If you must explode the war and modify the files after, you could try the subscribe mechanism when the tomcat service restarts :
service "tomcat" do
supports :restart => true, :reload => true
action :enable
subscribes :reload, resources(:template => "/tmp/somefile"), :immediately
end
Finally, you could poll the file system in a loop (with a delay of course - don't make a busy wait!) for the file you want to change, then when it appears change it.
IMHO, all of the above options are a kludge and should be avoided in favor of external configuration.

But is there any solution if any scenario comes like this .

Sounds like things may be fundamentally setup wrong. Perhaps you should externalize whatever configuration you want to change so that you don't need to explode the wars at all. If the configuration is external to the war then chef will have no problem writing these files and tomcat can be re/started after the files are written. You have several options with tomcat for externalization; you could use properties files that your app reads from the home directory, or you can use environment configuration specifying values in a context.xml, or an external applicationConfig.xml if you are using Spring.
If you can't externalize, please explain why so we can help you think of other solutions.
