Can't run webapp on Tomcat, Error 51, although java -version is correct, Mac OS X

I installed Java 7 on my Mac, compiled a web-app, and now I am trying to run it on Tomcat. However, I get the nasty Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 error. Googling showed that it is because Tomcat is using Java 6 to run the app, which is compiled for Java 7.

So I tried setting the path to the Java 7 jre in my "catalina.sh" script, but it didn't help. Moreover, "java -version" returns the correct java version.

dtv$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_10-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

How can I fix this?

Try setting JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to your JDK 7. Catalina expects to find Java there. See if that tells it how to get JDK 7.
