/usr/local/bin/tomcat41ctl I see references to

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.

The same goes for jboss3ctl. If I want to switch to a different
jdk, I have to recompile the whole thing(!). Is it possible to
explicitly set JAVA_HOME when invoking the wrappers? Or by setting
some configuration files for that?

Curious.  I don't know the answer to your question.  How do you
recompile with a different jdk?  In the jakarta-tomcat41 Makefile it
echos $JAVA_HOME as /usr/local/jdk1.3.1 but I have no idea how it is
set.  I obviously don't know enough about the port Makefile
business.

Perhaps a knoweldgeable and kind soul can enlighten us why jdk1.3.1
is the only jdk for use in jboss3 and tomcat41.

I guess this is why I don't install Tomcat from ports. I just download the tarball and unzip it where I want it. Then I run the startup.sh script in the bin directory to kick Tomcat into gear. That script looks at the JAVA_HOME variable to determine which JVM to use.
