It's no different to connecting to a DB2 database without using a Servlet :)

A quick Google search came up with some documentation on using JDBC with DB2. That page has some code examples that should get you started.

Essentially it's a matter of obtaining a Connection object using either the DriverManager or DataSource interfaces. Once you have that you can obtain Statements or PreparedStatements are you're good to go.

You'll want to consider using a connection pool rather than DriverManager if it's servlets.
@Duffymo makes a good point: if you're building a real-world system then you'll need a good connection pooling library, otherwise your system will have pretty bad latency. It's probably better to use a DataSource rather than DriverManager. DataSource is a better design and makes it much easier to transparently include things like connection pooling.
Everything else that Cameron said is spot on.
