javai.dll is the run-time library that allows native C/C++ programs to invoke and use the Java VM. Java 2 renamed the dll (I forget the new name off-hand). They also changed the JNI invokation API, but the older API is still supported. All that should be required of Oracle is for them to re-link against the new Java dll.

You might need to get a new JDBC driver. You might be able to hack the existing one by just doing a binary edit on their .dll and changing the name from javai to the new name, but that might be risky.
