I think that's good to point out, Jeremy. There are a variety of ways
(depending on distro) to switch the version that's used in the path by all
users by default, and depending on how your system is administered, this may
or may not cause problems with services that depend on a specific version.
My preference when working on any un*x is to use the package manager to
install Sun's jdk if possible, but not to depend on what's in the PATH by
default to pick up the right java version when running an app that needs
java. Instead, I think it's better to ensure that when the application is
started, the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the location of the
specific jdk I want to use (this will vary...I don't know where it is
normally installed for Red Hat 5, but I bet google does), and that the PATH
environment variable has $JAVA_HOME/bin as one of the first entries.
For example, if you plan to start/stop Fedora at the command line as the
'fedora' os user who uses bash, you might put something like the following
in /home/fedora/.bashrc (taken directly from mine on an Ubuntu machine):
# User specific aliases and functions
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_11
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export FEDORA_HOME=/usr/local/fedora-3.3
export CATALINA_HOME=$FEDORA_HOME/tomcat
When you reach a point where you want to start Fedora (actually, tomcat)
automatically when the machine boots, I'd advise doing something similar in
your associated init.d script.
