Now that I'm working with SL 6 in earnest, I've run into the bug described here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653573

I downloaded jre-6u24-linux-i586.rpm from www.java.com and it seems to
be working (after I linked the plugin), and it also provided the
javaws that I needed.

Is this the preferred solution at this time? From reading the bugzilla
report, it might be a while before we see a fix from TUV.
