I have used both
java-7-openjdk-amd64 and Oracle JDK, currently using the Oracle one

Well then it sounds like something is amiss with the install. I don't 
think the Java distro is the problem  ...

To be honest with you I never bother with Ubuntu packages if I can avoid 
it. I just downloaded the relevant gzipped tarball from
tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
Unzip, untar, configure the startup script
and away you go. You know exactly what you have that way and all the 
important directories are in one place.

You could try that, you can even install it in a temp directory in your 
home directory just to test it out.

There is an excellent mailing list for tomcat which you can join at
http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html
