I have installed Tomcat 7 in Ubuntu and when I try to deploy geoserver.war I receive the error "The connection was reset" in Firefox and "402 Access Denied" in Chromium.
How do I deploy geoserver.war?

The Suite 3.0.2 Ubuntu Packages don't work with Ubuntu 13.04. Officially they are for Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 and they seem to work on 12.04 without trouble, but they break on 13.04.
You should specify which JBoss version; for JBoss 7, check this thread in jboss community forum
In few words:
1. Add wo geoserver.war/WEB-INF the following xml
jboss-classloading.xml
<classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0"
name="geoserver.war"
domain="GeoServerDomain"
export-all="NON_EMPTY"
import-all="true">
</classloading>
jboss-deployment-structure.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="org.slf4j" />
<module name="org.apache.log4j" />
<module name="org.jboss.logging" />
<module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
<module name="org.jboss.logging.jul-to-slf4j-stub" />
</exclusions>
<dependencies>
<system>
<paths>
<path name="com/sun/imageio/spi"/>
<path name="com/sun/imageio/plugins/common"/>
</paths>
</system>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
Then, you have to add some jdk class to the sun.jdk module by editing JBOSS_HOME/modules/sun/jdk/main/module.xml, this is mine:
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="sun.jdk">
<resources>
<!-- currently jboss modules has not way of importing services from
classes.jar so we duplicate them here -->
<resource-root path="service-loader-resources"/>
</resources>
<dependencies>
<system export="true">
<paths>
<path name="com/sun/script/javascript"/>
<path name="com/sun/jndi/dns"/>
<path name="com/sun/jndi/ldap"/>
<path name="com/sun/jndi/url"/>
<path name="com/sun/jndi/url/dns"/>
<path name="com/sun/security/auth"/>
<path name="com/sun/security/auth/login"/>
<path name="com/sun/security/auth/module"/>
<path name="sun/misc"/>
<path name="sun/io"/>
<path name="sun/nio"/>
<path name="sun/nio/ch"/>
<path name="sun/security"/>
<path name="sun/security/krb5"/>
<path name="sun/util"/>
<path name="sun/util/calendar"/>
<path name="sun/util/locale"/>
<path name="sun/security/provider"/>
<path name="META-INF/services"/>
</paths>
<exports>
<include-set>
<path name="META-INF/services"/>
</include-set>
</exports>
</system>
</dependencies>
</module>

The real cause of the issue is the max-file-size limit in WEB-INF/web.xml. It is set for 50MB while the geoserver.war (version 2.9.0) is over 65MB.
Open the file below for tomcat7: sudo nano /usr/share/tomcat7-admin/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml
Locate multipart-config tag and turn 50MB to 500MB.
