you need a full root zone for that and you are running on a sparse root zone. check your config and delete the inherit package dirs and reinstall the zone (you will need a lot more space!).

A JRE can be installed anywhere, eg. /opt/jdk. Just set your PATH, JAVA_HOME or whatever your application uses to point to the alternate JRE.

I already installed the JDK 6
Code:
bash-3.00# echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/jdk1.6.0_23
bash-3.00# java -version
java version "1.5.0_26"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_26-b03, mixed mode)

how can I point it to the alternate java? I could not locate the alternatives though. thanks

One of /etc/default/login or /etc/profile or $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bash_profile.

Sure, that was the idea of sparse zones.
