Do the following as root:

Type vi /etc/profile

Press "}" until you get to the end of the file.

Type a for append.

Press Enter (<CR>).

Type JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jrel1.5.0__6"

Press ESC.

Type :wq

Then the next time that you boot, or when you restart the tomcat service, that environment variable should be set.
