Re: Upgraded JDK/JVM not being picked up by tomcat

I recently upgraded to jdk 1.4.2_10-b03 from 1.4.1_04-b01

I have changed the JAVA_HOME variable to point to the new java
directory. Typing "java -version" and "echo %JAVA_HOME%" shows
everything to be hunkydory

But on the Tomcat management info page the JVM version is still showing
1.4.1_04-b01

This is the output from localhost:8080/manager/serverinfo:
Tomcat Version: Apache Tomcat/4.1.31
OS Name: Windows XP
OS Version: 5.1
OS Architecture: x86
JVM Version: 1.4.1_04-b01
JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.

I found this page
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-dev/200409.mbox/%3C20040924164050.38786.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%3E
which suggests that the jvm version is picked up as a
System.getProperty but I cant find how this property is set. I've been
through the bat files in Tomcat/bin but still cant work it out.

All the FAQs i've read suggest that updating the JAVA_HOME variable
should be sufficient. what am i doing wrong?

This isnt that important but it's driving me nuts!

Do you run Tomcat as a Windows service?

If so, check the JVM settings in the Apache Tomcat Monitor.

Don't know if the Tomcat Monitor is available for Tomcat v4; but it is for Tomcat v5 and appears as a tray icon next to Windows' clock. Otherwise you may check the Windows registry for Tomcat entries. For Tomcat v5.5 the JVM registry settings can be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\Tomcat5\Parameters\Java
