If you can compile your code without having the Oracle JDBC classes in your classpath (note I said compile NOT run) then you have a chance. I (and many others) have run Java 2 applications that access Oracle databases using the Oracle 8.0.x JDBC drivers. One of the keys is using nothing but Pure JDBC 1.x classes/methods. If you use any JDBC 2.x or Oracle specific methods/classes, your code will probably not work. e.g., You can not use OracleTypes.Cursor, or OracleCallableStatement. Because you can not compile with the Oracle classes, because the classes don't even match the JDBC 2.x interface signatures (let alone support JDBC 2.x).
YMMV, but I definitely was accessing Oracle databases with Java 2, with Oracle JDBC drivers, but I was also NOT able to get some things working with it.

: I suspect this is due to something Oracle has done and not true of JDBC : drivers generally. I would expect most JDBC drivers to work with JDK 1.2.
