Bug Description

When starting up on a system with only java7 from Oracle installed the init script cannot find any jvm to run.

This can be solved by adding the path "/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle" to the list of possible java vm locations inside the init script.

Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Tomcat 6.0.35-1ubuntu3.2

Marking confirmed since the init scripts don't look for anything but openjdks. Though since they do so quite explicitly, it seems not impossible that there might be known problems with running tomcat with java-x-oracle.

As its impossible to support the multitude of paths that might contain a Java install, the correct way to use a non-distro version of Java is to set JAVA_HOME in /etc/default/tomcat[6|7]. This will override any auto-detection in the init script.

Marking 'Won't Fix' as sufficient capability exists to configure this manually.
