ADF 11g - Proxy User

Question

Hi,
We have configured our APP with a datasource but have a problem...
A lot of our database packages / triggers make use of the explicit 'user' which means that although our app is authenticating
as "tester" (against an LDAP V3 Repository - OID) , our triggers update with the underlying data source connection ('bto') rather than our authenticated user.
In 10.1.3.3 we had to use a custom proxy authentication class, which only worked with 1 app deployed in a container and required JDBC credentials
Does anyone know of any way to do this in 11g in a better fashion?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

In 10.1.3, the way to use a Database Proxy User was to override the prepareSession() method of your application module to do something like this:
  protected void prepareSession(Session session) {
    Statement st = null;
    try {
      st = getDBTransaction().createPreparedStatement("rollback",0);
      OracleConnection oConn = (OracleConnection)st.getConnection();
      Properties props = new Properties();
      props.put("PROXY_USER_NAME",   ___ActualUserName___  );
      oConn.openProxySession(OracleConnection.PROXYTYPE_USER_NAME,props);
    catch (SQLException s) {
      // ignore
    finally {
      if (st != null) {
        try {
          st.close();
        catch (SQLException s) { /* ignore */ }
    super.prepareSession(session);
  }
