Not sure what you mean by platform Independence here but OCI driver is just a type two? JDBC driver that provide superior performance. You will have to install an oracle client into your system but this shouldn't be a big deal is it ?
We have developed some financial app two years ago and we settled on using that native driver after couple of performance tests ... as far as I can remember, it was also necessary if you have oracle stored procedure and packages that might need recompilations while the web app is running ... if you use the pure java connection pooling, the pooled connections are no longer valid and you will have to restart the server or figure out away to get rid of all connections in the pool.
