Try to use absolute path while you are trying to run the command thru shell script.

Can you show us then what you are putting in your script to run the command and the path of your command and shell script?

Are you running this script as a cron job?

Cause in that case you will have a very limited PATH definition and you will have to define PATH in the proper way.

Set the PATH
Like sb008 said, set the PATH variable to point to the directory where the java executable is located. Then if the executable name is unique, it should be executed without issues. For more info search the forums.
