Centos – Ansible cannot check service status and restart it

I am new in ansible. Now I try to restart my Tomcat service. It looks like ansible cannot detect service status (started/stopped) and cannot (re)start it. Please tell how to do diagnostic?

See here (rotor-app-01.dev is the Tomcat host. brutus-HP-ENVY-17 is my local host):

user@rotor-app-01.dev:~
$ sudo service tomcat stop
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/vendor/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/vendor/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/vendor/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /home/vendor/jdk1.6.0_45
Using CLASSPATH:       /home/vendor/jdk1.6.0_45/lib/tools.jar:/opt/vendor/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/vendor/webapps/app/config
Using CATALINA_PID:    /var/run/vendor/tomcat.pid
Tomcat is stopped                                          [  OK  ]

user@rotor-app-01.dev:~
$ sudo service tomcat status
Tomcat is stopped                                          [  OK  ]

Now the Tomcat is stopped. Lets start it!

The playbook is played. Lets check the Tomcat status:

user@rotor-app-01.dev:~
$ sudo service tomcat status
Tomcat is stopped                                          [  OK  ]

user@rotor-app-01.dev:~
$ ps -ef | grep java
user     58396 56290  0 16:52 pts/1    00:00:00 grep java

The Tomcat is down! But in the ansible status the service is marked as changed. Check the service script (can it start Tomcat?)

user@rotor-app-01.dev:~
$ sudo service tomcat start
find: `/opt/vendor/tomcat/webapps/*': No such file or directory
find: `/opt/vendor/tomcat/temp/*': No such file or directory
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/vendor/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/vendor/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/vendor/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /home/vendor/jdk1.6.0_45
Using CLASSPATH:       /home/vendor/jdk1.6.0_45/lib/tools.jar:/opt/vendor/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/vendor/webapps/app/config
Using CATALINA_PID:    /var/run/vendor/tomcat.pid
Tomcat is started                                          [  OK  ]

user@rotor-app-01.dev:~
$ sudo service tomcat status
Tomcat is running                                          [  OK  ]

The service scrip is correct!
