Locked JDBC Driver? Please Help

Question

Hi All,
I am using SJSAS 8.1 and DB2 EXPRESS COMMUNITY Edition on a Fedora Machine.
I have set the connection pool in the Admin GUI of SJSAS for DataSource class com.sun.sql.jdbcx.db2.DB2DataSource.
Checked the Connection Pool using Ping. Ping succeeds.
Now I made a JDBC entry in the SJSAS using Admin GUI ie /jdbc/mydbds
I have written a simple JSP
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/mydbds");
try {
Connection con = ds.getConnection();
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM tbl_user");
while(rs.next()){
out.println(rs.getString("firstname"));
out.println(rs.getString("lastname"));
out.println(rs.getString("userid"));
out.println("<hr>");
rs.close();
stmt.close();
con.close();
catch(SQLException e){
out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
However when i run the jsp then I get the following error
[sunm][DB2 JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded applications.
Can anybody please help me in resolving this problem. This is seriously frustratting as there are no solutiuons to this problem on google.
Many Thanks
Anand

Sun Studio/Creator are bundled with DataDirect jdbc drivers. Those drivers can only be used within Sun Studio/Creator environments.
You have an option of installing Sun Studio/Creator on your production server and use its bundled appserver as your production server, but it probably wouldn't be able to support many connections.
For a proper production server you either have to get appserver 8.x SE or EE edition or a jdbc driver from a third party(i.e DataDirect or i-net ) and use it with your appserver PE.
