Whoa.
You probably have few options as the Enterprise Application on Websphere, what services it exposes and how they are presented ultimately will determine what you can do. For example, the application could expose beans as endpoint services (emulating SOAP methods), could expose JMS (MQ Services) or EJB's as traditional RMI services. Either way, you need to start there to determine what your options are.

Recently I started a new project using IBM Websphere Application Server (6.1) and DB2. The environment is setup with a simple Apache/Linux web server (no Websphere or other app server components), then a Webspere App Server 6.1 behind a firewall, and finally a DB2 server (also behind the firewall). The only server that is accessible externally is the Apache/Linux web server. My Flex app requires data from the DB2 database, and I'm used to getting it via HTTP/SOAP web service calls. However, with nothing but a bare Apache/Linux web server that is accessible externally, I'm trying to figure out how to best create a simple server-side HTTP listener that will take data requests, communicate with the WAS/DB2 servers, then send the data back to the Flex client. What choices/options are there for this scenario? I do have the capability of installing some server-side components to the Apache/Linux web server.
