I haven't had good luck with the java and tomcat that ship with 
CentOS. /usr/bin/java is GNU gij 4.1.2, and tomcat is compiled with 
it.

I ended up installing the Sun runtime and the tomcat binaries from 
apache.org to get our tomcat environment to work as expected.

Perhaps, however, other list members have more heartening stories to 
tell.
