What shell do you use?
If ksh:
export JAVA_HOME="path to j2sdk1.4.1_01 directory"
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export CLASSPATH="paths to class directories":"paths to jar files"
where the "paths to class directories" are directory paths separated by colons. Similarly for "paths to jar files".
Put those in .profile and logout/login.

Sorry, but I understood that you were just a normal user of java. I suggest that you post your message in the Apache/Tomcat section of Javaranch.
I do not know very much about Tomcat to be able to help you. But I will try to learn. - Barry

This is what the installation guide says:

(0) Download and Install a Java Development Kit
* Download a Java Development Kit (JDK) release (version 1.2 or later) from:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/
* Install the JDK according to the instructions included with the release.
* Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory
into which you installed the JDK release.

So what errors do you get printed out when you run tomcat?
Another question: how are you starting Tomcat? Manually or in some system startup script?
