Forgot to mentioned that I am using rhel 5.6 My /usr/bin/java is a link that points to /etc/alternatives/java The command "alternatives --config java" returns with /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java JAVA_HOME in tomcat5.conf points to /usr/lib/jvm/java everything points to a different java. What is the correct java to point to on rhel5 When I tried to start tomcat5, it does not start and I get # service tomcat5 start Starting tomcat5: lock file found but no process running for pid 1232, continuing /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find servlet Java extension for this JVM /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Some detected jars were not found for this jvm All of this happened when I "yum erase tomcat5" and "yum erase java-1.6.0" and then I installed then again.
