Yes, I've done that. The weird thing is: before i created the JAVA_HOME environment variable, there was no such variable. According to the Tomcat documentation this variable must exist for Tomcat to work, but in my case it also worked without this variable. I've looked in the /etc/sysconfig/tomcat file and in the tomcat startup script, but i don't see a reference to the JAVA_HOME variable.

I've installed the J2SDK1.4.2_04 from Sun and have added the JAVA_HOME environment variable ( = /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04) to /etc/profile. But after restarting Tomcat, it still uses the JVM from the Free Software Foundation. How can I change this? When i use the command 'env' i can see that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is present and pointing to the correct location.
