I never used rpm, but ussual distribution of IBM and SUN java doesn't
add anything to /usr/local/bin

You need to create link manualy.

I have  

/usr/local/IBMJava2-13
/usr/local/jdk -> IBMJava2-13

and all links from /usr/local/bin going throw jdk, so future upgrade
would be easeer (I also switch IBM and SUN JVM).

Also, I would not recomend to user rpm, try to install directly.
