Thank you, Jóhann.

Yes, this unit file is a simple solution, but I was looking for
something with more of a native approach.

One of the obnoxious things about the wrapper script is that it waits
until tomcat has opened its socket:

while [ -f "/var/run/$TOMCAT.pid" ] ; do
       /usr/sbin/lsof -t -i TCP:8009 -p $(cat /var/run/$TOMCAT.pid) >
/dev/null && break
       sleep 1
done

If only there was some way to ensure the socket was really open
(within tomcat's unit file, I believe), the whole ExecStartPre and
ExetStopPost structure might work out fine.
