It may not require them, but it will honour some of them if present. Examples are ORACLE_HOME, ORA_TZFILE, TNS_ADMIN (see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/instclnt.htm#sthref555)

Did you check for NLS_ settings in the environment or registry?

Do you use Instant Client Lite or the NLS-enabled Instant Client?

Does it make a difference if you have orai18n.jar in your CLASSPATH?
