You can download the current Oracle drivers from otn.oracle.com, you must
sign up for a free ID. Go to http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/ for
all the JDBC drivers. I use the pure Java drivers designed for JDK 1.2.x
with my installation. I am running 8.1.7 and JDK 1.3.

Subject: Re: tomcat and oracle 8.1.6 for linux
No. You can use a newer version of the JDK with Tomcat. In production we
are using Oracle 8.1.7, which I think is the same when it comes to the
JDK, but in development we had been using Oracle 8.1.6. Our environment
sounds exactly the same as you have described. From the very beginning
we have been using JDK 1.3 without any problems.
