Try the following in your /etc/profile file;
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java # Where java is a symbolic link to /usr/jsdk1.3.1 -
and the JSDK, as opposed to JRE, is required to support the java compiler,
javac, which tomcat uses to compile jsp pages on the fly.
PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
export PATH JAVA_HOME
This should get you going.

Subject: Tomcat 3.2.2 Install problems
Hello Everyone,
Sorry for reposting this...but I could really use some help.
Before I begin, I would just like to say that I am a newbie when it comes
to the Apache webserver, Tomcat, Java, JSP and to some respects Linux.
I am trying to get a good clean grasp as to what I have to have installed
and working in order to use JSP and Servlets.
I am running Mandrake 8.0, Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.19
mod_ssl/2.8.2 OpenSSL/0.9.6 PHP/4.0.4pl1.
I downloaded...
J2SDK1.3.1
Tomcat 3.2.2
Java servlet (was in the same directory where I downloaded Tomcat from, I
assumed I needed it as well.)
JRE (Can't quite get it to run with Mozilla)
It was my understanding that the JavaSDK needed to be installed as well. So
I downloaded it and installed it. I set it up so that all users could
execute Java. I modified my path in /etc/profile so all users have access.
However, when I log in as root, the path to the Java directory is not there.
What have I missed?
Also, I have installed Tomcat 3.2.2 and when I try to start it, it fails
because I try to start it as root and since the Java dir is not in the path
it cannot start. How can I fix this?
Is there a good HOW-TO out there that I somehow missed?
Thanks in advance.
