I would highly recommend separating your WAS from the RDBMS, the webserver can be a little unstable and run-away processing hog a lot of memory and cpu time. Large numbers of concurrent users chew anywhere from 2-5Mb RAM per connection (AIX) and we found that the overhead of the webserver stopping/starting processes and in competition with the database results in wide variations in overall system performance.

This, of course, depends on the version of the webserver, server specs and the expected system use.

In your case, go for v2.1.1 (not v2.1) and make sure you load test the system with around 80-300 user connections, perhaps simulating large inserts/updates to really see how your system performs.
