I have a file called /etc/profile/java.sh that contains

#!/bin/sh

for file in /usr/java/*; do
   if [ -x $file/bin/java ]
   then export JAVA_HOME=$file
        break
   fi
done
unset file
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin


It's where it is rather than how it does it that's important.   Look at 
/etc/profile to see how the files in /etc/profile.d are handled.
