--- Comment #4 from Zafar Ali <zafar...@gmail.com> ---
Apple documentation suggests using /java_home utility to determine the
JAVA_HOME

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa1170/_index.html

it suggests as 

"Another advantage of dynamically finding this path, as opposed to hardcoding
the fixed endpoint, is that it is updated when a new version of Java..."

Oracle also relying/using on the existing mechanism as they suggest using it at

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-install-faq.html

even though they suggested how to continue to use older apple versions of JDK

executing /usr/libexec/java_home -X suggest that it maintains the plist for all
installed jdk frameworks in osx terms.

Other benifit of using java_home utlility, is its always available as i like to
run tomcat via launchd, and i m sure all osx server installations will do
