wildcards don't work in anything but a shell.
The directory exists though. What can I do if I need wildcards?

Code:
$ ls -l /usr/java/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   16 Sep 26 05:02 default -> /usr/java/latest
drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 4096 Sep 26 05:02 jre1.6.0_27
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   21 Sep 26 05:02 latest -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_27

It does not. There is no directory named "/usr/java/jre*" there.

Your listing shows two symlinks in the problem dir, 'default' and 'latest', which point to the place you need. Why not use /usr/java/default/ ?

How would I do that?

Just use it. Imagine the actual folder is named /usr/java/default instead of /usr/java/jre1.6.0_27. That's what it acts like. 'default' ought to be updated whenever you install a new JRE, and if it isn't, is easy to fix.
