Oh, okay.

So we only use daemonctl to get Tomcat / JBoss to run as user www?

If that's the case, there are numerous ports out there that use su
effectively to start services under a specific UID.  In which case, I'm
thinking the only reason you want daemonctl is so that non-root users
can start and stop the services it starts.

Is that correct?  If so, then I recommend we just use rc.d scripts,
providing daemonctl as an optional way to start services as a non-root
user.
