In that case, there should be a script in /etc/init.d for starting/stopping tomcat. Take a look at that. If the settings aren't in there, the script may have comments pointing you in the right direction. I don't think the .bashrc will work because the tomcat account is probably disabled. That's the way all accounts used by linux/unix services are for security reasons. There is no interactive login to run a .bashrc file from when tomcat starts or stops.
