Updating the data base doesn't help. #locate java ....gives an incredible list of paths.
Great, so it's installed and you just need to edit your path.
If which <command> doesn't find it then look elsewhere (e.g. locate).

I have already used the locate command, and no use. It gave me a lotta output. Now, I am gonna take a look at Dag's repository.
Now that I installed Java from the DAG's repository, it gave me a version jre2-1.4, while I wanted 1.5 (which I realised later.)
Now i did a simple Google search. Found a good one at rpm-pbone.net and simply upgraded the package. The RPM was originally made for mandrake, but worked here like a charm. No problems whatsoever.
Moreover, I needed the Java installed for applications like Azureus and Limewire.
I again did a google search for Azureus RPM, and found one , again (built) for Mandrake. I installed this one, and wow! It is cool. Works good. No crashes experience until now.
I love RPM ;-)
