Bobi,
You are doing something wrong, but your sparse explanations make it
difficult to determine what.
Here is example how to run Tomcat just with JRE:
====
C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\bin>set JRE_HOME=
C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\bin>set JAVA_HOME=
C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\bin>startup.bat
Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program
C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\bin>set JRE_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\
C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\bin>startup.bat
Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11"
Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\temp"
Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\"
Using CLASSPATH:
"C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\apps\apache-tomcat-7.0.11\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"

Hallo,
sorry, I thought the settings I was asking for, are valid for all OS.
So, I'm talking about Tomcat 7. According to some description, it doesn't need
JDK anymore. For this reason under Windows (7) I didn't set it at the beginning
(neither did I install it), so the error came: no JDK nor JRE was set (although
JRE was set). I tried to set JDK_HOME to jre6 as well, but the same error
message.
Only after installing (the latest) JDK, and setting JDK_HOME towards it, I
could start Tomcat with the startup.bat.
Best,

Bobi,
What Konstantin is suggesting, is if you want to get your question
answered, you *really* need to describe your problem in detail.
Which OS, JRE and Tomcat version are you using, which Tomcat
distribution (installer or .zip), how are your environment variables
set, how do you try to start Tomcat, and what are exact error messages
you get (might be on console or log files).
Without that, people waste their time making guesses, or worse for you,
ignore your questions.

Oh my, I got confused now :)
So, if we dont need JDK; why cannt I start the server w/o having specified
exactly a path to JDK. With only JRE_HOME specified it doesnt start.
Probably you are doing something wrong.
Google for "smart questions".
