Also, it may help to set JAVA_HOME to the base of your needed java 
installation, i.e.

export JAVA_HOME="$HOME/jre1.7.0_11"
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

You are not required to prepend "amd64/" paths, use "java -d64" instead.
And under Solaris do make sure to have both 32 and 64 bit JDK or JRE 
installed, 64-bit overlaying the 32-bit one. Under other OSes these are
independent distros to be installed separately.
