You may want to check the NLS_LANG settings.If I am not mistaken, '?' is unknown character in USASCII7, meaning you have a value, length 1 character, that does not translate between the client and the server.

Thanks for all the replies. The SQL statements are stored in XML files. The XML files have a parameter called BindingStyle which is set to either JDBC or Oracle. When it is set the JDBC the variables are denoted by a '?'. When it is set to Oracle the variables are denoted by ':1' (or :2,:3). Changing them does not seem to make any difference. There is a bug 5510048 filed on Metalink against JDeveloper which seems similar; using different BindingStyles results in an error. I'll update if I find a solution.
