Is there a way to tell Tomcat 7 the path to the JVM that must be used? For example:

startup --jvm /path/to/my/jvm

Does Tomcat require JRE or JDK?

Apache Tomcat requires 64-bit Java/OpenJDK. If you have multiple Java versions installed on your system, we recommend that you uninstall older Java versions and keep only the latest supported Java version.

How can I change Java path in Tomcat?

We can change the JRE for Tomcat by setting the JRE_HOME variable in a script file called setenv. bat (on Windows) or setenv.sh (on *nix). This file does not exist by default, so create such file and place it under CATALINA_BASE\bin directory (CATALINA_BASE is the Tomcat installation directory).

What version of Java does Tomcat 7 use?

Building Apache Tomcat requires a Java 6 JDK to be installed and optionally a Java 7 JDK installed in parallel with Java 6 one. The Java 7 JDK is only required if you wish to build Tomcat with JSR-356 (Java WebSocket 1.1) support.

Can Tomcat work with JRE?

Tomcat has Eclipse Java Compiler bundle so it can run on JRE and still support JSP.

A more flexible approach is to create a file named setenv.bat / setenv.sh (pick the right one for your platform) in $CATALINA_BASE/bin and set JAVA_HOME there. That way it only affects Tomcat, not anything else you are running. It also makes it easy to run multiple different Tomcat installations on different JVMs.
