My first guess would be that the module you are trying to use is not installed correctly.  Alternatively, it might not offer a class "tomcat", but only classes of the form "tomcat::config", "tomcat::application", etc..

Supposing that the module's name is "tomcat" and that Puppet's module path is just /etc/puppet/modules, in a correct installation you would expect a layout something like this:

/etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/
/etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/manifests/
/etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/manifests/init.pp
/etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/manifests/<someclass>.pp
/etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/manifests/<anotherclass>.pp

there might also be

/etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/files/
/etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/lib/

and other files and directories thereunder.  Possibly other subtrees, too.

Furthermore, everything needs to be accessible to the puppetmaster user, who typically is not privileged.  If you installed the module as root then you may need to update file ownership, permissions, SELinux labeling, or something else along those lines.

Basically what John said, either the tomcat module doesn't offer a class "tomcat" or you installed the module outside of your puppetmaster modulepath.

You can look up where your puppetmaster will look for modules by running:
# puppet config print modulepath
/etc/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules

Hello 

I am getting similar issue with my Jboss module, I have checked the permissions and all the files are accessible to puppet master.

Also my module is in the module  path  of puppet master. This same module use to work earlier. 

When I test using 

 puppet agent --test  --verbose --masterport=443  --trace --noop --logdest=/tmp/puppet.log

I get
