I just wanted to warn anyone who didn�t already know, WSAD 5.1.2 and DB2 7.2.5 client edition don�t like to play nice together.

I had a heck of a time trying to get WSAD to connect to a remote database; the app couldn�t find the right JDBC drivers (db2java.zip) to make a connection. The zip file was in the classpath, but I kept getting an error that said WSAD couldn�t find the file it needed even though I could navigate to that file in the zip directory (which was in the classpath...). I called IBM and they thought it was because my DB2 client (7.2.5) was running JDBC 1.0, but it was running JDBC 2.0 so that wasn�t it.

We finally decided to upgrade my DB2 client to 8.0 and everything worked just fine. This may be something that is commonly known here in the forum, but I wanted to post this just in case.
