The real question had to do with whether or not there
was a reason to not use the default DB2 database. The
argument finally came down in favor of Oracle because
of our implemented architecture.
According to IBM, WAS5 will run on any "reasonable
database". We are only looking at two objects for
meta data and a JDBC thin client connection. Getting
those two simple facts out of IBM is not the easiest
task in the world. However, they did offer to send
out someone to help us implement :-)
