Boxfuse does exactly what you want.

For you Java web application you literally only have to execute:

boxfuse create my-tomcat-app -apptype=load-balanced
boxfuse scale my-tomcat-app -capacity=1-16:t2-micro:cpu25-75
boxfuse run my-tomcat-app-1.0.war -env=prod

This will

1. Configure your application to use an ELB
2. Set it to autoscale between 1 and 16 t2.micro instances based on CPU usage (scale in at 25% and below, scale out at 75% and above)
3. Create AMI containg Tomcat and your application ready to boot
4. Create an ELB
5. Create a security group with the correct ports
6. Create an auto-scaling group
7. Launch your instance(s)

Any subsequent update will be done as a zero downtime blue/green deployment.

For your domain, you can simply map your samepage.com DNS record to the CNAME of the ELB.
