Oracle 10.1.0 jdbc driver and 9i Database

Question

Are there any known issues with using the Oracle 10.1.0 jdbc drivers and 9i Database. I was lead to believe that the Jdbc drivers are backward compatible.
Thanks

Sorry for not including my error:
Hello all,
I am getting an error "Bigger type length than Maximum" when calling a stored procedure that returns a small result set. I am not working with BLOBs or CLOBs and cannot find anything on the web that addresses my specific situation.
I would greatly appreciate any help available in solving this problem.
Here is my data access object:
package my.app.access;
import java.sql.CallableStatement;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes;
import oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes.*;
import my.app.beans.Person;
import my.app.util.Database;
public class PersonAccess {
     public Person getPerson(Person person) throws SQLException, Exception {
          Database db = new Database();
          Connection con = db.connect();
          ResultSet rs;
          CallableStatement cs = con
                    .prepareCall("{call SP_GET_PERSON_BY_USER_ID (?,?)}");
          cs.setString(1, person.getUserId());
          cs.registerOutParameter(2, oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes.CURSOR);
          cs.execute(); // ################### ERROR HAPPENS ON THIS LINE
          rs = (ResultSet) cs.getObject(2);
          if (rs.next() == true) {
               person.setId(new Integer(rs.getString("id")).intValue());
               person.setFirstName((String) rs.getString("first_name"));
               person.setLastname((String) rs.getString("last_name"));
               person.setPhoneNumber((String) rs.getString("phone_number"));
               person.setEmailAddress((String) rs.getString("email_addr"));
               person.setRoleId(new Integer(rs.getInt("role_id")).intValue());
               //this.roleName = rs.getString("role_name");
               person.setPassword((String) rs.getString("password"));
               person.setAgencyId(new Integer(rs.getInt("agency_id")).intValue());
               if (rs.getString("account_disabled").equals("1"))
                    person.setAccountDisabled(true);
               if (rs.getString("pwd_change_reqd").equals("0"))
                    person.setPasswordChangeRequired(false);
          return person;
And here is a test object:
package my.app.access;
import my.app.beans.*;
public class testAccess {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          PersonAccess pa = new PersonAccess();
          Person person = new Person();
          person.setUserId("jrlaughlin");
          try {
               pa.getPerson(person);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("done");
And here is the output from this test app
java.sql.SQLException: Bigger type length than Maximum

I am only having this problem when using the 10g jdbc driver, 9.2.0.4 and up are fine.
Thanks again.....
