Many thanks for your clarification - meanwhile, what about using Sable 
VM?

It should work according to these instructions - 
http://sablevm.org/wiki/Tomcat - at least for Tomcat 5 - but I kept 
getting the same error -

Finally, I got wise & set JAVA_HOME in /etc/default/tomcat4 to 
"/usr/lib/sablevm" - now I think I'm getting somewhere because I get a 
different error -
