Turns out this is what I was able to do for future reference out there.

First I removed the old Java (OpenJDK)  yum:

yum remove java

Then needed to install rpm builder:

yum install -y rpm-build gcc gcc-c++ redhat-rpm-config


Then install Sun Java 1.5:

Then install WebObjects:

or your engineers very nice script.. maybe these three should all be combined 
back on the wiki?

I used the binary from the hudsen server instead as yum couldn't find apxs to 
install.
Heck I even had to yum install make on these very bare boned servers.

Rackspace has a lot of catching up to do in the cloudserver space with amazon.

Thanks
James
