Tomcat5 on RHEL AS3? Has *ANYBODY* managed to install this <censored> package?

I haven't figured out how RedHat handles java yet, so I downloaded Sun's
JDK and installed it in /opt/j2sdk-1.4.2_04, made a symbolic link from
/usr/java to /opt/j2sdk-1.4.2_04, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable
to /usr/java, appended /usr/java/bin to my path, downloaded and
installed the tomcat binary and ran it. I've actually done quite a bit
more tweaking, but I believe this should get you started.
Like I said, I haven't found much information or had much luck with the
RedHat installed java or tomcat.
