With what you're asking for, you're not going to find without your own dedicated server, for the reason alone that it takes more care and feeding (and is not included with CPanel). Many of the hosts are those fly-by-nights with a couple machines, and a license for CPanel. Hell, there's more 15-20 year olds out there with a dedicated server for WarCraft who think they can sell space on it to pay for it - then there are legitimate hosts.
Depending on your needs, they might set it up for you, but if they need to admin your machines, you'd probably be looking at least at $85-100/mo more per system. mod_proxy is pretty standard, as is PHP. Tomcat, less so. RoR? Not going to happen with a stock CPanel/DirectAdmin box.
