On my system where I have java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.12-1jpp.x86_64 and java-1.5.0-sun-devel-1.5.0.12-1jpp.x86_64 installed, I use JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.12 # and PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH which works regardless of what alternatives has set up. If you use /usr/bin/java, though, I assume it overwrites JAVA_HOME. But if you just the executable loader find java, then it should use the above-mentioned properly. At least I haven't had any issues. > And what's the current situation with this now that Fedora and RHEL5 > include some stuff that looks jpackage'd but isn't?

As far as I can tell, the init scripts that come with tomcat5 for Fedora Core 6 (the only ones I've tested so far) uses $(JAVA_HOME)/bin/java ... that's the JAVA_HOME set for the tomcat5 user. It's CATALINA_HOME is set to /usr/share/tomcat5/ and it configured (again for the Fedora package) via /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
