Note that Websphere <> Websphere Application Server. Therein lies a big 
difficulty with the original post. "Websphere" is plain and simple a blanket 
marketing term covering a bunch of products with varying degrees of 
relationships to each other. I almost think "IBM is to Websphere" as "GM is to 
Chevrolet". Poor correlation, sure, but it illustrates.
