I can't find the details right now, but I have a vague recollection that the
IBM JDK includes an RMI-IIOP implementation that is a requirement for
Websphere. So you won't be able to switch to a non-IBM JDK.
There actually is a package that you can use for a Java client to provide the RMI-IIOP client package that is required to connect to a Web Sphere application (assuming that it's a larger J2EE application), but this doesn't help you in terms of running the application server itself.
Also, that "package" might seem to be part of a simple "here's a jar you should use," but in fact it's a whole slew of jar files and environment variables you have to run, and those jar files have to be in a particular file system layout in order to function (i.e. you can't just make sure they're in your classpath).
