What is JAVA_HOME?
What is the use of the Java Home directory to Tomcat.What are the
files of the Java installation that Tomcat uses?I am asking this to
determine the set of files and their Home directory which should be
set as JAVA_HOME

One way to do this globally for Fedora 14 is to create a custom.sh file in /etc/profile.d. Place the values in there.
For example:
JAVA_HOME=<where you installed the JDK>
JRE_HOME=<where you installed the JRE>
export JAVA_HOME JRE_HOME
This suggestion is taken from the comments in /etc/profile.
just my two cents . . .

In the "bin" directory of Tomcat (*), create (or edit) a script named "setenv.sh", and put
the definitions there.
At least, if you downloaded and installed tomcat from the tomcat website.
If you are using a Fedora package, then you should ask the people who created that package.
(*) where you should also find scripts named "catalina.sh" and "startup.sh".

Depends on your OS and how you start tomcat (startup script or as a
service).

Read the doc. To quote from RUNNING.txt:
(1) Download and Install the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
(1.1) Download the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE),
release version 6.0 or later, from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
(1.2) Install the JRE according to the instructions included with the
release.
(1.3) Set an environment variable named JRE_HOME to the pathname of
the directory into which you installed the JRE, e.g. c:\jre6.0
or /usr/local/java/jre6.0.
NOTE: You may also use the full JDK rather than just the JRE. In this
case set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the pathname of
the directory into which you installed the JDK, e.g. c:\jdk6.0
or /usr/local/java/jdk6.0.
