how to switch the jre within axis?

["Dr. Exner" <ex...@fh-flensburg.de>]

Hi,

I freshly installed Axis 1.3 within a Tomcat stand alone test environment on XP and with the support of the tomcat users list the "happy axis" page is ok now.
But while following the "Call" link at the Axis start page (http://localhost/axis/) 
or calling test .jws files with the browser, I get errors like:

"Invalid class file format in C:\Programme\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\rt.jar(java/util/Enumeration.class).  
The major.minor version '49.0' is too recent for this tool to understand."

(more details see below)

For my current understanding (I did not deal with java for a long time) I should switch from jre 1.5.0_06 to jre 1.4.2_10 (both are activated in the java console). But how to switch the java runtime within axis?
