You can download the DB2 JDBC drivers at www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/.The DB2 Universal Driver is included with the DB2 Application Development Client. This driver is a two tier pure Java™ JDBC driver that allows a Java client to communicate directly with DB2 UDB servers through the DRDA® protocol. This driver supports both Type 2 connections (to databases that are cataloged on your local computer) and Type 4 connections (using a host, database name, and port). This driver is designed to replace the Type 3 Net driver.
