JDeveloper 10g (10.1.3) - classes for use in Oracle 9i Server

Question

Hello,
I'm currently using JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.0.4 (SU2) to develop some classes which interact with some of the data in my Oracle 9i database.
The server is Oracle 9i 9.2.0.5.
From what I can tell, the JRE on the server is 1.3.1, and according to the JDeveloper about box my "JavaTM Platform" is "1.5.0_05".
My plan is to load the Java classes onto the server for calling via stored procedure.
Do I need to require Java 1.5 on the Oracle server for this to work?
Or do I need to change my "Source" and "Target" versions in the Compiler settings in my JDev project to 1.3?
I am mostly just using JDBC stuff like
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
as well as java.util stuff too, along with oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver for my connection generation.
Right now I get problems loading my classes onto the server (I'll post more details the next time I can gather them).
Are there any thoughts on where I should start? In other words - does anyone know if I'm even able to update the version of java on the server, or do must I compile to a different level of Java?
Or is there something in the Java loading process that can be done to refer to the right java version?
thanks!
Mike

FOLLOW UP:
OK I decided to change the compiler setting to have a source and target of "1.3".
When we try to load the java .class files we get a
ORA-29545 badly formed class
with no additional information.
Should I try loading the source directly?
thanks again
