Hello,
While this is right, I would not recommend to run Tomcat as root. Better
run Tomcat with another port just like the default 8080 and use a
firewall application such as iptables to internally forward incoming
requests to port 8080; thus you avoid dangerous exploits in Tomcat's
webapps.
It can be done w/ something similar to this:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT
--to-port 8080
