In the WordML/OpenXML file format, r2l is a boolean property on a run: http://webapp.docx4java.org/OnlineDemo/ecma376/WordML/rtl.html

So:

 // Create object for rtl
BooleanDefaultTrue booleandefaulttrue = wmlObjectFactory.createBooleanDefaultTrue(); 
rpr.setRtl(booleandefaulttrue);

You set rPr on a run (R object), for example:

RPr rpr = wmlObjectFactory.createRPr(); 
r.setRPr(rpr);

In the above:

org.docx4j.wml.ObjectFactory wmlObjectFactory = new org.docx4j.wml.ObjectFactory();

You can generate code for docx4j by creating a sample document in Word which contains what you want, then using the docx4j webapp or docx4j Helper Word AddIn.
