With your recommendation that I get Jikes working as Tomcat's java 
compiler, I was able to make the whole thing work.

I'm amazed, because I have such a shallow understanding of everything -- 
of Java and JVM's and servlets... as recently as a few days ago I knew ZERO.

PS: For benefit of those lost souls scouring the archives for help, I 
leave these particulars:

I was setting up a PPC Linux box to host a multi-domain mail server, 
using these instructions for guidance:

    http://www.wanderingbarque.com/mailserver.html


Although I was able to connect with Tomcat successfully using a web 
browser, when I tried to access the Jamm application I got this error 
(excerpt):

    Unable to find a javac compiler;
    com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
    Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK


Per Keith's recommendation, I set up Tomcat to use Jikes as its JSP compiler rather than use its own internal JSP compiler, Jasper. None of this software was present on my server and so I needed to install each:


  Java SDK: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux140/ 
(registration req.)
  Jikes compiler: 
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/ (v1.22)
  Tomcat: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/ (v5.0.28)
  Jamm: http://jamm.sourceforge.net/ (v0.9.6)
