Newbie : Complete Connect java program to DB2

Question

Dear all,
I am failry versed with java and jdbc. I did a lot of google and searched a lot of forums but no one gave me all the details. I have done a lot of oracle jdbc. I would appreciate if some one could give me all the details please. I dont even know which jar files should be in the classpath.
Oracle Comparision :
place ojdb14.jar in classpath
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        // Create a connection to the database
        String serverName = "127.0.0.1";
        String portNumber = "1521";
        String sid = "oracle";
        String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;
        String username = "scott";
        String password = "tiger";
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
        // Create a result set containing all data from my_table
        Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM sometable");
    I am just about clueless on db2 .. (was able to scape through the install and the install is fine.).... to the limit that I hope my db2 is running on port 50000.
TIA

TIAHello Sarvanand,
You seem a champ in JDBC-ODBC programming...
I am fairly new in this .....
I am writing a basic code in java to connect to oracle 9iR2 database...
following are my questions
1) for oracle 9i ,is the jar file same ...i.e.. ojdb14.jar .
2)Do i need to create a driver first and then used it
i.e ...class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
here OracleDriver is your drivername existing on the server ? is'nt it ?
if yes could you provide me instructions to create this driver in WINXP ?
Please let me know .
