It's really a question of of where Oracle is looking for Java.  Many apps that use
Java look for JAVA_HOME environmental variable.   If so, your .bashrc should
contain

    export JAVA_HOME=path_to_jdk_directory

where path_to_jdk_directory is something like /usr/local/jdk1.1

The other common tack is to look for a 'java' program someplace on your PATH
(typically, /bin, /usr/local/bin, etc/).  In this case you need a link, eg.

link -s path_to_jdk_directory/bin/java /usr/local/java

By the way, I never use rpms to install the jdk, since that makes it difficult to
have multiple versions of the jdk readily available (I've got three at the moment:
sun's 1.3, Blackdown's 1.2 and IBM's 1.3).  It's easy enough to install from
tarballs (.gz files).
