We run tomcat5 and java 1.6 at work. We don't use the Redhat rpm's, I find their locations and rpm names etc a little confusing. Here's what we do: Install Sun's JDK into /usr/java .... (then link it using the alternatives program, if you like). Download and Install the Tomcat zip file from the Apache site also into /usr/tomcat... then set your JAVA_HOME in some file like $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh, near the top - you'll see a whole bunch of environment variables. Of course you'll need to note the following: Completely uninstall the tomcat and java rpm's, and you won't have an init.d script, so you won't be able to execute "service tomcat5 <blah>". You start Tomcat like this: $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh or shutdown.sh Let me know if this helps and how you get on.

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.
