It is possible... you "merely" have to apply the right algorithms with the
right parameters (e.g. concerning padding) and build the DigestInfo
structure yourself. SHA1withRSA essentially is a convenience automatically
doing everything right.

If you attempt to do it, you should study the appropriate RFCs first and
then try and find an appropriate security related forum as hardly anyone
succeeds immediately. Using libraries like  http://www.bouncycastle.org/
bouncy castle  most definitively helps.
