How to change JAVA_HOME and JAVA_OPTS on Tomcat installed on Linux?

I have a version of Tomcat 5.5 installed on Linux with a package, and while I am used to deal with sh scripts stored in the Tomcat bin directory, here /usr/share/tomcat5/bin doesn't contain the usual scripts and Tomcat is started instead with /usr/java/latest/bin/java. Do you have any advice on how to change the JAVA_HOME and JAVA_OPTS (to set VM parameters such as heap size) in this environment?

Thank you for the tip. But I have been already trying to set JAVA_OPTS and JAVA_HOME in /etc/profile, but that didn't have any effect.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the JDK and Tomcat packages solved the problem. And after this, setting the variables in /etc/profile works. Thanks guys.
