Make a list of possible places that a java executable might be, in order of preference, and work through the list checking each location in turn. Or use the shell command I gave you last week to search an entire directory tree for java executables; checking a list of possible candidates will be a lot faster though. When you find one, use that executable in future commands. If you store the information with the host, you can skip the search next time.
