This is not something puppet is intended to do. For one, puppet makes periodic runs and does not respond to changes on the system in realtime. So best case, your app would get restarted within 30 minutes (or whatever your runinterval is) of an error occuring, but not immediately upon that error occurring.
Second, puppet can restart a service because another resource it manages changed (think config files), but it doesn't have a mechanism in the service provider to restart based on other conditions. Puppet is very good about setting up an environment and maintaining its state, but it's not an application monitoring/orchestration tool.
