That last attempt succeeded. There should be a java process running tomcat6.

but i solved it.

i checked the log
it said /etc/java not found
so i created a link for java there
$ln -s …

Maybe because you haven’t used the openSUSE Java packages, which automatically set up JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib(64)/java/jvm, which through a couple of symlinks, points to the selected version of java.
