When I try to connect to a remote oracle DB using activerecord oci8, I
get the error below.
I can connect with dbvisualizer tool using a JDBC connection. I'm not
on an officialy sanctioned project and can't really bug the sys admins
or anyone to configure me something on the remote server. If I want to
try to connect in ruby using JDBC, I'm guessing I may have to use
JRuby otherwise it won't work ?

Well, if you want to use JDBC you must be on a JVM. As you probably
know there are several options (aka programming languages) that will
work - including but not limited to Java.

This might as well be an issue with your local connection
configuration. Do you have ORACLE_HOME set appropriately and do you
have your tnsnames.ora properly edited?
Probably the Java application is using the thin driver.
If you have the Oracle client installed you need to configure it properly (ORACLE_HOME, tnsnames.ora). Otherwise JRuby + driver thin is an option, yes.
