JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity

Question

Hello JDev Team,
I am trying to implement JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity.
It works fine with java.sql.Connection and java.util.Properties like in the following code:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
int level = AnoServices.REQUIRED;
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( RC4_40 )");
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client",Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main", props);
etc...
But I am developing an application with InfoSwing components and it has a different way to connect to Oracle database using oracle.dacf.dataset.connections.Connection, like this:
sessionInfo1.setAppModuleInfo(new ModuleInfo("bc", "BcModule"));
sessionInfo1.setConnectionInfo(new LocalConnection("JDBCThin"));
sessionInfo1.publishSession();
My question is:
Is there any way to implement DataEncryption and Integrity into this type of connection?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Victor,
No, you can't do this from DAC, but I've been discussing it with the developer, and we both think this capability would be useful to have, so I've logged it as an enhancement request.
I do have a question for you. Once you've made the JDBC connection, do you need access to the Connection object afterwards? We're thinking of how the change could be implemented, and one way would be to allow you to pass in a Properties object when creating your own NamedConnection.
Thanks
