It wasn't tested well with Ubuntu and makes some assumptions that are only true on other distributions.  

The following needs to be at the very top of the recipe for Ubuntu.  Note that the template and cookbook_file resources were moved from another section of the recipe for order of operations purposes.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.  I also modified my Tomcat cookbook to use 'jsvc' so that Tomcat would daemonize properly.  If you don't, you'll have to start Tomcat outside of your chef run or manage it with something like 'runit'.
