I think in a matter of hours you should be able
to write something that looks like
com.pwcglobal.jdbc.RemoteDriver
on the jserv side and have the actual Oracle driver
run in a separate java process on the Oracle box behind
the firewall. You can connect via RMI which has
a CGI workaround just for fws.
