If you want to see how Ubuntu's tomcat version is installed, download the
tomcat5 deb package for Dapper (tomcat5.5 for Feisty) from 
http://packages.ubuntu.com. Then use dpkg-deb or another program
that can browse deb archives like mc (or its gui equivalent
gnome-commander) to view and extract the pertinent files. Browsing though
/etc/init.d/tomcat5, /etc/default/tomcat5 and the postinst script should
give you enough information on how to configure tomcat to start up as a
service during boot time.
