How are you starting tomcat? as /etc/security/limits.conf only applies
to process started after a login, if you have an upstart script then
they won't bet getting picked up.

If you have a script to start tomcat which if run as root (before
running the tomcat process as another user) then I'd upp the limits in
there.
