Hmmm, when I start tomcat from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/020.jakarta-tomcat41.sh
as root without JAVA_HOME set, tomcat starts just fine.  The
script does not set JAVA_HOME.  When I run strings on
/usr/local/bin/tomcat41ctl I see references to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1.
Unless I'm missing something, I think that this tomcat41ctl
port has the path to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1 compiled into the
binary and there is no way to path to a different jdk.
