does the plattform setting 'Oracle9i' only affect the client side and can i use it together with an 8i database, or do i have to use 9i on either side if i use Oracle9i in my connection descriptor.
Very old post, but for the record I will answer anyway...
See this link for Oracle JDBC FAQ question "Which JDBC drivers support which versions of Oracle Database?":
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm#02_02
The answer to your question is; yes, the OJB platform will only affect the client-side but you can potentially run into problems if assumptions are beeing made about eg JDBC-types that do not exist in older server releases. This should not be the case with the Oracle9i platform.
I recommend using at least v9.2.0 of the Oracle JDBC driver for getting large LOB support.
