> This may not be relevant for too many people, but I faced a situation where I couldn't use the stock Oracle file system and persistence manager implementations since we couldn't place the clear text DB password in repository.xml (for security reasons).
> I tried adapting the classes to use a data-source instead, but this didn't work out immediately because of the Oracle specific blob handling being performed by these classes. They expect the connection to be the original native connection returned by the driver, so in the case of wrapped connections returned by managed data-sources, a ClassCastException is thrown by oracle.sql.BLOB.createTemporary().
> I finally got things working thanks to the fact that both application servers we support (JBoss and WebLogic) allow extraction of the native connection from a wrapped managed connection. Spring's NativeJdbcExtractor interface proved very helpful here; I simply used the right implementation for extracting the native connection and using it wherever I thought it was required (modified code to be attached later).
> So to sum up, would it be possible for JR to provide this kind of functionality out-of-the-box? To be specific, could you provide JNDI based Oracle file system and persistence manager implementations where we can plug in some kind of native connection extractor, and have the implementations internally use the native connection for Oracle specific stuff?
