A million thanks to Sean ! That's it ! Now it works ! The problem was the setting of /etc/default/tomcat6 which is usually ignored in any installation instruction. Maybe it is worth to just add a few lines about that, don't you think so ? At least it is very useful for ones who do not know about tomcat before.
I also noticed that (I said this before) tomcat6 comes together with openjdk which can be substitution of sun-java6-jdk, but I have not tested it yet. Thanks to everyone who has been willing to help.
