Thanks for the info, i'm going to have to spend alot of time before i
fully understand the driver implementation:( While looking at the
debug stuff, it still seems to use my windows username while opening
a db?

This is interesting, you have SYSDBA in uppercase.. I wonder if that
makes a difference? I haven't checked if the older connection methods
do case conversion... I'm using Tomcat not Jboss, but i'm
hoping/assuming a similar connection is occuring?
