Search the archives -- it's not really practical to add "smarter type
mapping" (really, less strict typing) at the driver level.
The "right fix" is to fix the parameter types being given to JDBC by the
JSTL layer. I'm not familiar with JSTL -- does <sql:param> let you
specify a parameter type? At the JDBC level you can, so I suppose you
can in JSTL.
BTW it's a driver change, not a backend change, that changed parameter
typing behaviour between 7.x and 8.x, so if you are going to revert you
should only need to revert the driver.
