systemctl enable Failed to issue method call: Bad message

Your tags say Ubuntu 14.04 so you should have run those commands like so:

sudo systemctl enable tomcat ==> sudo update-rc.d enable tomcat
sudo systemctl status tomcat ==> sudo service tomcat status

That's the way it's done on Ubuntu 14.04, systemd is used by Ubuntu 15.04 and above.

See:

man update-rc.d

man service
