tomcat still sees jvm version 1.4.2 in Cent OS 5

["Isaac Gonzalez" <igonzalez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i chose to install tomcat during the OS install as well as java....however, since I needed to use a different jvm, i used the method described in http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS for Sun jdk 1.5.0_13 and it worked fine as I can tell, as using the alternatives --config java command, i see both 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 versions and choosing the 1.5.0 version yields the right version when doing a "java -version" command....also doing a "which java" also points to the right location for the java 1.5.0 install...everything appears fine except that tomcat still sees java 1.4.2 as its jvm version...

I have tried setting the path to JAVA_HOME in the tomcat5.conf as well as set the JAVA_HOME & JRE_HOME environment variable as a script under /etc/profiles.d....its as if tomcat is ignoring this and still using java 1.4.2!
