DB2 Version 7.1 and 8.X, Static SQL, SQLJ, BIND FILES

Until now, in DB2 Version 7.1, I could use the following steps to
develop applications with static sql in Java:

1) SQLJ source files
2) JAVAC source files
3) db2profc with -prepoptions "bindfile using filename.bnd"

After these steps, I could create a JAR file with the .ser-file and
the classes and put those files onto the production server.
Afterwards, I could take the bind file filename.bnd onto the
production server and bind the new bindings. Every night, I could
rebind the filename.bnd file.

In DB2 UDB 8.X, I still have the command db2profc, but the command
line option -prepoptions is no longer available. In the DB2
documentation, I don't see any way to generate a bind file with
db2profc. I don't want to bind the packages automatically after
compiling. I want to make a clean deployment process with:

1) JAR-FILE (including .ser)
2) BIND-FILE

To deploy, I want to bind the BIND-FILE and afterwards I want to be
able to use the JAR-FILE. Is this no longer possible?

I found the DB2-command: PREP filename BINDFILE, but this seems not to
work with ".ser" file, only with C++ or Fortran files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found it out: IBM has created new JBDC drivers for 8.1 (see IBM
paper http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/pubs/papers/sqlj/).

So I have to go back to 7.2 on my development-machine. It's a pity.
