as someone else said, the Java packaged with CentOS is GCJ, which is, 
imho, an abomination.   I uninstall GCJ and all its dependencies, and 
use the Jpackage.org RPMs to install Sun Java and anything else such as 
Tomcat (they have Tomcat 4.x, 5.0, and 5.5 available, it looks like)

Note that on jpackage.org, JPP 1.7 is based on Java 1.4.2, while JPP 5.0 
uses Java 5...   I reommend starting here ->
