Although I have never used Geoserver with Locator I see no reason why
you shouldn't be able to. Locator uses exactly the same geometry data
type as Spatial and uses the same indexing mechanisms. It's pretty much
Oracle Spatial without a lot of the functions that provide spatial
tuning, coordinate transformations (which you can do with geotools or
have geoserver reproject on the fly anyway), etc.
Only one way to find out for sure, so please let us know how it goes.
