I just installed Java 8 (not as the default JRE) on a Google Compute
Debian 8 instance that has been running Tomcat 8 under Java 7.
If I change setenv.sh to add
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/"
and I try to "service tomcat8 start," I get
Job for tomcat8.service failed because the control process exited with error
code.
See "systemctl status tomcat8.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
and then
# systemctl status tomcat8.service

If I leave the JAVA_HOME in there, but change it to refer to the Java 7
directory, it works fine.
What am I doing wrong? Tomcat 8 runs just fine on our other Google
Compute instances, and they *only* have Java 8.
