I meant that if your code relies on compiling against the oracle classes it probably won't work. An *easy* way to verify this, is to try to compile your code without the 'classes111.zip' in your classpath. If you keep the classes111.zip in your classpath, then you're less likely to know (without reading every line of your code) if you SPECIFCALLY use the oracle classes anywhere. (An example is if you use "OracleCallableStatement" instead of the java.sql.CallableStatement, your code will NOT compile under jdk 1.2)
