We're reusing a set of Java classes from an "old" application in a new application.  
The old application used a PC database; the new one is using Oracle.  It appears that 
the PC database implicitly rolled back transactions if a connection to the database 
was closed.  However, with Oracle, is appears that when we close a JDBC connection, 
the current transaction is implicitly committed.  

I understand that these classes *should* be explicitly controlling their transactions, 
and committing or rolling back before closing the connection to the database, and we 
will have to fix these classes to do so.  However, I would also like to know if it's 
possible to change this behaviour of Oracle of implicitly committing upon close.  Is 
there a JDBC configuration file or something like that?  This is Oracle 8.1.7, in a 
JRUN environment, if that's any help.  (As you can tell, this Java stuff is not my 
forte...)

Thanx for any advice.
