I have installed my application using rpm which requires >= jre 1.6. openjre is available in the same system but i am using the absolute path of the oracle jdk to exeucte my application. I am trying to updgrade my application to the latest version but it fails to upgrade because of the conflict in jre. Somehow it takes openjre path. i have verified /etc/alternatives , which is showing the default jre as openjdk. I have designed the spec file with the absolute path of the oracle jre. Why it is referring openjre instead oracle jre.

Thanks

When you installed jre did you run update alternatives?

After installing jre i haven't executed update-alternatives. Thats'y i have used the absolute path of oracle jdk /usr/java/default in my code everywhere. Actually it should work right?
