If that was an option, believe me, I would. The current implementation 
was not designed and implemented due to my lack of understanding of the 
loader mechanisms already present in the runtime. The Java runtime 
system just does'nt provide a ClassLoader that can be made to follow the 
semantics stipulated by the SQL 2003 Java mapping. That was the major 
reason.

I have a well functioning solution. The only lacking part is how to 
prevent arbitrary user access to the underlying table. I'd really like 
your advice on how to do that.
