The location that the package maintainer specifies. Tomcat5 & tomcat6 packages are available from the JPackage yum repository. Using the package maintenance mechanisms of your operating system(yum in the case of CentOS) relieves a lot of cruftiness and administrative overhead in my experience.

Where the package puts it.
There is a tomcat5 rpm available from the "updates" repo in CentOS5.
Its actually just a redistributed copy of the jpackage one.
[jim@ssh ~]$ yum info tomcat5
