There are two possibilities:
1. To use IBM's net Driver and communicate with DB2 via the DB2 Applet
Server.
2. Use the app driver and connect to the DB2 CLI layer directly.
As I understand it, the more direct and stable connection is provided by
method 2.
In both cases, the JDBC driver is of Type 2 Java/Native. Which means
that the JVM
hosting the Driver class (and Servlet Engine) makes socket connections
so the native dll on the DB2 side.
To me, that's a Network Connection.
Also note that DB2 Connect Edition is the only requirement for
connectivity. It comes wih The Client
Configuration Assistant. Use it to register a DB2 Instance over a
Network or Locally. Your servlet then
conencts to the database as described above.

I can't speak for v5.x.

DB2 Persoal is available for download from software.ibm.com as well.
Perhaps you cannot access
the server from Singapore.
