The usual way to specify the favicon is by putting it at the root of the web site, e.g. http://www.example.com/favicon.ico. On the server, this file is usually found in [Tomcat dir]/webapps/ROOT/favicon.ico - change that file to whatever icon you want.
There are some other ways to specify the favicon, but I don't know if they're supported by all browsers.
