Depends on your OS and how you start tomcat (startup script or as a

Subject: What is JAVA_HOME?
What is the use of the Java Home directory to Tomcat.What are the
files of the Java installation that Tomcat uses?I am asking this to
determine the set of files and their Home directory which should be
set as JAVA_HOME
Read the doc.  To quote from RUNNING.txt:

(1) Download and Install the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)

(1.1) Download the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE),
     release version 6.0 or later, from
     http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

(1.2) Install the JRE according to the instructions included with the
     release.

(1.3) Set an environment variable named JRE_HOME to the pathname of
     the directory into which you installed the JRE, e.g. c:\jre6.0
     or /usr/local/java/jre6.0.

NOTE: You may also use the full JDK rather than just the JRE. In this
     case set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the pathname of
     the directory into which you installed the JDK, e.g. c:\jdk6.0
     or /usr/local/java/jdk6.0.

 I am using Fedora 14 at the time if that is so what is the way to do it?

In the "bin" directory of Tomcat (*), create (or edit) a script named "setenv.sh", and put the definitions there.
At least, if you downloaded and installed tomcat from the tomcat website.
If you are using a Fedora package, then you should ask the people who created 
that package.


(*) where you should also find scripts named "catalina.sh" and "startup.sh".
