Actually *both* classes12.zip and ojdbc14.jar contains drivers for both type 2 and 4 ("jdbc:oracle:thin" invokes the type 4 driver).

The difference between the packages are as the names suggests, classes12.zip is for JRE version 1.2. ojdbc14.jar is for JRE 1.4.

ojdbc14.jar wasn't shipped with 8.1.7 simply because it wasn't developed at that time. It's shipped with Oracle 9 and later.
