This would be WAS under  the 2.2.x kernel. I have not had time/confidence
enough to go to 2.4.x kernal. I am (perhaps foolishly) waiting for a 2.4.x
distribution that has all the frelling patches included.

Would the JDBC drivers that come with DB2 of OS/390 work?

What kernel are you running?  I have not found a 2.4.7 kernel supported WAS
yet.  I've heard it should be GA next month??  You don't specifically need
DB2 for WAS, you need the JDBC drivers that come
with DB2 for WAS to access DB2 on another platform.  DB2 for the 2.4.7
kernel does not have a date yet that I am aware of.  We are using NEON
Shadow JDBC to access DB2 on the mainframe, but it uses
ODBC behind the covers which is a type 1 JDBC driver, which is less
efficient that type 2 or 3 drivers(which would come with DB2).  Right now
that is all that I am aware of supporting the 2.4.7
kernel.

                Subject:        WebSphere on Linux for 390/z-series

                I've managed to find the WAS for z-series Linux tar file,
but as yet the
                only DB2 I've found for Linux appears to be wintel. My
understanding is
                that I need DB2 for Was to work. If that is true, where do
I find a
                Linux/390 happy DB2 UDB?
