One simple thing that you could do is create a "ping" servlet which you can
request from a remote machine (just a minimal servlet that prints a
message). On the remote machine you would probably have a script or
monitoring software attempt to grab the URL of the servlet. Although this
tells you if Tomcat is running it doesn't tell you about other parts of your
application (which you could probably arrange in the ping servlet).
