I know this is an old link but I thought I would reply anyway with what we found out and hopefully it will help others with same problem...

We were receiving the ORA-17412 error after we instantiated a new copy of one of our Oracle databases. I had to download the jdbc drivers specifically for the version of the database we were running to get the system to not give the error. I did not know why we were having the problem when our original database was running on the same version of oracle. We ended up finding out that the new version of the DB was setup in an underlying character set of UTF-8 vs ASCII which was causing the problems. The old JDBC drivers did not do the conversion and the new drivers do from what I have been told.

Hopefully this helps.
