Both guides look really good. I tried the
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06-1jpp.nosrc.rpm as well and it works good.

However I didn't like this kind of packaging, because it puts java files
in different locations than jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm does. I was
looking only for a solution which automatically updates alternatives
(/usr/sbin/alternatives). 
I thought java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.06-1jpp.src.rpm would be a proper
solution...
I built this package myself I downloaded pre-built package and none of
them did work for me. 
Well, I think that's not rpath problem (maybe I'm wrong) - the the
source package builds without an error, but error appears at
installation time. Maybe the problem is related with symliks ?
The /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/jre/lib/i386 file is a symlink
to a directory...

One more suspicious thing: 
rpm -qlp jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm | grep pack

gives:

/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin/pack200

It seems that there is a bug in cpio or in rpm tool.
