doesnt sound right ..here is an excerpt from setclasspath.sh

# Make sure prerequisite environment variables are set
if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" -a -z "$JRE_HOME" ]; then
  # Bugzilla 37284
  if $darwin && [ -d 
"/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home" ]; then
    export 
JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home"
  else
    echo "Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is 
defined"
    echo "At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this 
program"
    exit 1
  fi
fi
if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" -a "$1" = "debug" ]; then
  echo "JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK in order to run in debug mode."
  exit 1
fi
if [ -z "$JRE_HOME" ]; then
  JRE_HOME="$JAVA_HOME"
fi

As you can clearly see you will need to have either JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME 
environment vars set before executing
Since all of this is conjecture and speculation..do you have the source for 
tomcat.exe so we can find out whats going on?

Thanks,
