Jesse, I found this to be usefull.

1. install whatever java rpm you like.
2. point a symlink to that location, ie:
	ln -s /path/to/usr/java/jresomething/ /java
	now there is a symlink in the root folder called /java
3. in /etc/profile add the following lines to the file
	pathmunge /java/bin
	JAVA_HOME="/java"
	add to the end of the export line JAVA_HOME

Now when you upgrade an rpm of java all you need do is change the
symlink so that it points to the new /usr/java/something folder.

I hope this helps, it has worked great for me.
