I haven't figured out how RedHat handles java yet, so I downloaded Sun's JDK and installed it in /opt/j2sdk-1.4.2_04, made a symbolic link from /usr/java to /opt/j2sdk-1.4.2_04, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to /usr/java, appended /usr/java/bin to my path, downloaded and installed the tomcat binary and ran it. I've actually done quite a bit more tweaking, but I believe this should get you started. Like I said, I haven't found much information or had much luck with the RedHat installed java or tomcat.
