which java version does tomcat use

Question

I have set the JAVA_HOME to C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_11
I have set the Classpath to C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5

Answer 1

You can choose by altering catalina.bat/catalina.sh, your set up will use JAVA_HOME, unless you change setenv.bat.

just type java -version into your dos prompt to see your default java version, which programs will use unless you explicity tell them not to.
