Perhaps consider using the tomcat event listeners that trigger when a context
is up

If I had the same problem, and I did not want to start wading through the
Tomcat Manager
application code (*), then what I would do would be to have my application
issue a simple
HTTP request to this application, and check what comes back.
And if it was not the first page of the application (**), then I'd wait and
retry.
But there are probably other ways to do this.
(*) which is available and, some say, surprisingly easy to understand
(**) which, considering I wrote it, could contain some unique string easy to
detect
