I had some troubles with Openfire (rel. 3.10.2) setup on a CentOS server and I had to modify the script used to start/stop the service:

In order to avoid that Openfire tries to use its specific Java version and instead forcing it to use the system JAVA_HOME, we commented lines 90-93 of /opt/openfire/bin/openfire.sh:

# Override with bundled jre if it exists.
#if [ -f "$OPENFIRE_HOME/jre/bin/java" ]; then
#             JAVA_HOME="$OPENFIRE_HOME/jre"
#             JAVACMD="$OPENFIRE_HOME/jre/bin/java"
#fi

and lines 65-79 of /etc/init.d/openfire:

# Attempt to locate java installation.
#if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then
#             if [ -d "${OPENFIRE_HOME}/jre" ]; then
#                             JAVA_HOME="${OPENFIRE_HOME}/jre"
#             elif [ -d "/etc/alternatives/jre" ]; then
#                             JAVA_HOME="/etc/alternatives/jre"
#             else
#                             jdks=`ls -r1d /usr/java/j*`
#                             for jdk in $jdks; do
#                                            if [ -f "${jdk}/bin/java" ]; then
#                                                            JAVA_HOME="$jdk"
#                                                            break
#                                            fi
#                             done
#             fi
#fi

I hope this could help.
