Convert java locale to Oracle NLS_TERITORY or NLS_COUNTRY?

Question

Hi, ist there any code around that would give me the Oracle NLS_TERITORY or NLS_COUNTRY for a given java.util.Locale, oracle.jbo.LocaleContext or a oracle.cabo.share.nls.LocaleContext?
I like to do a ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COUNTRY and ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERITORY in my ApplicationModule.prepareSession based on the JVMs locale setting (for our Swing / JClient) or the HttpSessions locale (for our UIX client).
Thanks, Markus

Ok, found a solution: use oracle.gss.util.NLSLocale coming with Oracle jdbcdriver. Sadly not mentioned in the JDBC API docs.
From http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/ch9.htm#15488
The JDBC Thin and JDBC OCI drivers make sure that Java stored procedures will be running in the same locale as that of the client Java VM.
This sounds like the JDBC driver automatically performs a ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY.
I would be interested, what happens for 3 tier deployment or UIX applications, because normally there is a difference of the locale used for the application server and the one used at the client (JClient or browser session). The UIX runtime then should not only switch the locale for the application module, but also for the JDBC driver / oracle database. Would be curious if this happens.
