Essbase with Websphere

Question

Hi All,
Can anyone please suggest which version of Essbase supported Websphere ? What are the Pros and cons if we go with websphere instead of weblogic ?
Our company is planning to go with Essbase 11.1.2.1. So it is expected to support websphere by the end of 2011. Please advice.
Highly appreciate your help.
Thanks

Statement of Direction
EPM System release 11.1.2 did not include support for IBM WebSphere Application Server. This was done only as a short-term and temporary condition. Current plans call for full certification of IBM WebSphere Application Server with EPM System release 11.1.2 Patch Set 2, with availability planned for 2HCY2011. Please note that customers who have deployed EPM System release 11.1.2 or 11.1.2.1(when available) will be able to apply this patch set to those releases.
Oracle maintains its commitment to supporting Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System on the broadest spectrum of software and hardware platforms. It is expected that IBM WebSphere Application Server as well as IBM DB2, AIX and Tivoli Directory Server will continue playing an important role in this regard and will continue to be supported in our roadmap of EPM System releases.
