Tom,
To my knowledge, with WAS 5.1 and later there is no requirement for
DB2. The configuration information that was stored in DB2 tables is now
maintained in XML. The only reason I can think of for DB2 is to support
your own databases (if desired).

Some of our clients' programmers are interested in WAS as an
alternative to disparate distributed platforms for deploying web
applications, but their managers are put off by the requirement for
DB2. What features of WAS actually require DB2, or to put it another
way, to what extent can WAS be used productively for web application
development WITHOUT DB2?
Thanks in advance,
Tom Sims
Btw, they have been trained in the jargon, to the extent that the
programmers are really interested in the application services, not
just the HTTP server.
