Your path, or the system path.

as root:
edit /etc/profile

add the lines:
export JAVA_HOME=/your/path/to/java
export PATH=PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

save.
After rebooting try:
java -version

To use the values without reboot, you have to type the commands on the commandline - on every, if you open multiple terminals. (xterm, console, ...)

P.S.: on the commandline, you may simply source the java.sh:

. java.sh

or

source java.sh
