Why not move your hosting to an isp who provides a vps?
Then you get complete control of your own tomcat; the whole thing looks and
feels like you have your own server, even though you are sharing the 
physical machine.:w

The prices I've seen are comparable to those where you have to share 
your tomcat.

My 2 cents...
