When did your problem occure? While installing, or does the installation run allright, but your own program in Java doesn't? How does the code look like which throws the NumberException (or do you mean NumberFormatException)?
Maybe I had the same problem as you. I tried to parse the value of a field as Integer like:

int n = Integer.parseInt(oraField.toString());

which doesn't work because Oracle returns an Integer as number plus a period (i.e. "1."). I could solve the problem by using the following Statement:

int n = ((Number)oraField).intValue();

which is much nicer anyway.
