DB2 continues to be the relational database management system of choice for the IBM WebSphere family of applications. WebSphere is a collection of e-business solutions and extensions built around WebSphere Application Server:
- DB2 and its FixPaks are continually tested with WebSphere Application Server by the IBM DB2 and WebSphere Integration Center.
- DB2 is the only parallel relational database management system supported with WebSphere.
- WebSphere's integrated performance wizard not only tunes WebSphere Application Server, it also invokes the DB2 Performance wizard to allow you to tune your configuration according to transactional application profiles.
- The DB2 JDBC type 2 driver is fully J2EE 1.3 compliant and provides full JDBC 2.x support in WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition Version 4 environments.
- Data stored in DB2 can be accessed from servlets, Java ServerPages, or Enterprise JavaBeans built using WebSphere family products.
