possible to avoid Websphere completely?
We are running RQM using Tomcat and Oracle 10g. Everything is fine, but now I want to start using Custom Reporting and according to the documentation we need to install Websphere now!
This was a surprise and I really want to avoid it - we have a small team and only a single server available for RQM and all related apps. Historically Websphere has been a pain to deal with and we don't have a WAS admin on this project.
Is there any way to get custom reporting going without websphere??? thanks!

No responses so I'll change the question a bit :)
Can anyone comment on the installation process for the Custom Reporting? Does it require any special webshere skills? Am I understanding correctly that Websphere installs along with the Custom Reporting engine?
If it's not to risky I might go for it but it sure makes me nervous!

Websphere server.
The only other thing I can say that installing RCR is somewhat
challenging. I understand the documentation has improved, but when I
installed it a couple of months ago it was pretty challenging - I
reported the inconsistencies in the documentation and I think they have
been fixed.

I have installed RCR and I can't see that any real Websphere skills are

Ok I guess I have no choice so I've cleared some space on a 64-bit Win 2003 server. Now I'm planning the installation and, to my surprise (well, I'll be surprised if it works well at this point) it won't run on Oracle. Only db2 or SQL Server are offered.
I take that this means I need to somehow get a license for either SQL Server or db2. Very frustrating. There is some ambiguous language that suggested that maybe db2 would be installed along with the application, but I doubt that's the case.
