Under the alternatives system, /usr/bin/java is a link to the Java
runtime executable. What Tomcat requires in JAVA_HOME is the base
directory of the Java installation. If you want to use alternatives to
control the location of Java then try setting JAVA_HOME to
/etc/alternatives/java_sdk. Othterwise set it to the base directory
where the RPM installed Java.

BTW, I presume you have installed openjdk-devel. AFAIK Tomcat requires a
Java compiler to compile JSP and you want that compiler to match the JVM
runtime. You most definitely do not want it to be some gcj abomination.
