For the interim, I have FTPd an older version of db2_classes.jar to a

Warning: DO NOT DO THIS.
db2_classes.jar is a native driver that relies on C/C++ code in the
operating system.
You're going to hit problems that are not predictable by doing that.

db2_classes.jar is not JDK nor JDBC version specific. We have written it in
such a way
that for any JDK currently supported by the iSeries, it will work.

The JDBC interfaces provided with the base JDK simply end up hiding the
implementations of features provided for newer JDBC/JDK versions.

Indeed, with some creative typecasts, you can even use some of those
new features in older versions of the JDK.
