Just guessing here, but if you're referencing the oci8 driver from an applet,
it may have problems with the native call within Netscape. Try to change the
url to use the thin driver. This driver doesn't seem to work 100%, it doesn't
appear to support LOB's, but it should perform most normal functions.
I too have a similar setup (Linux 2.0.35, JDK 1.1.7, Oracle 8.0.5) and have
been using the oci driver within application code without a hitch. I haven't
tried any applets that make direct db calls though.
