As of the new price changes, announced December 20, JServer is no longer a separately priced option - so a purchase of Oracle8i or Oracle8i Enterprise Edition now includes the functionality previously provided by the JServer option

If you mean a separate instance of Oracle8i, running in the middle tier as an application server, interacting with another back end database acting as a data server, then you will need to licence both servers. I'd question why you would want to do this however - it may be cheaper to consolidate both servers into one tier, or alternatively, look at Oracle Application Server as your middle tier
