Assuming that my code updates have been included in firebirdsql.jar
the following notes describe how to set up a connection to Firebird
within WebSphere 4/5.

Before starting WAS copy the JARs from client-java\src\lib\ to the WAS
ext directory.

Refer to
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/ae/infocenter/was/0606140101.html
for general instructions. Opt to create a new JDBC provider:

* Name: FBJDBCDriver
* Description: Firebird JDBC Driver
* Java class: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBConnectionPoolDataSource

After clicking Next, WebSphere will present the user with options for
configuring the datasource. Here you can enter connection parameters
such as database name, user, password, etc.

Click the Test Connection button to check everything works ok.
