Try:
$ locate java

Locate shows all files of which the name contains the string 'java'. Browse through 
the list to see whether you can spot a directory which contains the Java executable.

As a last measure, cd into /usr and type:
$ find . -name java -print
which could take some time.

Sun installs its JRE and SDK in /usr/java, so list that directory first. If you do 
find a file, you can see if and which package it belongs with:
$ rpm -qf /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/java
j2sdk-1.4.1_01-fcs
$

When you found it, it's probably useful to add it to your path. Add the following line 
in your /etc/profile:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin

or whatever your path is to the java binaries.
